A constant source of mystery for these dragonflies larvae is what happens to them, when on reaching the stage of the chrysalis, they pass through the surface of the pond never to return.
And each larva, as it approaches the chrysalis stage and feels compelled to rise to the surface of the pond, promises to return and tell those that remain behind what really happens, and confirm or deny a rumour attributed to a frog that when a larva emerges on the other side of their world, it becomes a marvelous creature with a long slender body and iridescent wings.
But alas on emerging from the surface of the pond as a fully-formed dragonfly, it is unable to penetrate the surface no matter how much it tries and how long it hovers. And the history books of the larvae do not record any instance of one of them returning to tell them what happens to it when it crosses the dome of their world...
