Dragonfly dialogue

BBC Wildlife

October 2025

STARTED TALKING TO DRAGONFLIES IN India at a place where my husband and I stayed several times in the foothills of the Himalayas.

I noticed that dragonflies came and settled in the sunshine on the paving outside our room. I decided to talk to one that was several feet away. After a few minutes it went up in the air and came down again a bit closer to me. This continued until it was next to me. Extraordinary. Considering dragonflies do not have ears, I suppose they feel some form of vibration.
