The Dragonfly-Scorpion ~ The Scorpionfly is a new species that emerged in 2021 from a completely unexpected crossbreeding. Apparently, a scorpion, one of the oldest terrestrial animals on Earth, stopped at the edge of a lagoon and was enchanted by a dragonfly, beautiful, light, and adapted to that environment of abundant vegetation. That small flying dragon with uneven wings awakened true delight in the scorpion.The dragonfly, transformed by the swamp and endowed with special eyes, had the privilege of seeing 360 degrees of a world that was its own. Aware of its long life, its freedom, and its perfect balance, it flew like an open book over that creature, heavy, shelled, accustomed to heat and dryness.The scorpion, completely enamored with that image, didn't know how to handle it. It wanted to climb onto the rocks and bushes to get closer, but would it survive if it fell into the water? Accustomed to holes, leaf litter, living among nearby construction materials, how could it be?
