Called a "Snake Doctor" in old regional tales, the Swamp Darner was believed to accompany serpents through the swamps, healing and warning them of danger. Watching the Swamp Darner on its winged patrol definitely evokes an ancient allegiance! #SwampLifeSunday #Okefenokee #Nature #Dragonfly

The Swamp Darner has been called a "Devil's Darning Needle." Folklore says they would sew up the mouths of wicked folk, liars & their ilk. Their long, tapered bodies evoke a sharp instrument weaving a silent boundary through the swamp. #SwampLifeSunday #Okefenokee #Nature #Dragonfly
While its kin exist only as impressions in prehistoric stone, the Swamp Darner flies on. As the sole living member of its genus, it is a Sentinel left behind by an older world - a winged relic keeping watch over the swampy basins. #SwampLifeSunday #Okefenokee #Nature #Dragonfly
