Dragonfly

There are few winners of beauty contests in the insect world, but the dragonfly is right up there on stage, definitely about to get the Miss Insect crown on her head.  Surely the squat, ugly and shrill cicadas must be a wee bit jealous when one of these beauties flies by.  The dragonfly is naturally slim, arrayed in elegant and dazzling clothing, has the grace to move quietly around in her little world, and takes care to be seen on only the most lovely flowers.  She's got my vote!   (and yes, I do know that some dragonflies are males.)
