Not a bloom, but a flyer. DH calls this a biplane dragonfly. When he was very young on the prairies, one year there was a tremendous amount of dragonflies. His family was doing chickens one day, and his mother needed him to go to the house for something, but his sister told him to be very careful because if the dragonflies caught him, they would sew his mouth shut with thread the same colour as their bodies!!!! He did what he was asked, but made sure his mouth was covered VERY well on the trip to and from the house.
