The sparkly blue flash of a dragonfly in a back garden has 'wowed' onlookers. But others are less appreciative.
'Bloody typical,' said bees and wasps. 'Here we are, putting on our best stripy jumpers all year round, and those double-winged bastards swoop in for summer and take all the glory. Why isn't everyone petrified of those massive bellends?'
'If those sexy, long-abbed show-offs are let inside, we'll be forced to resort to industrial action,' threatened common house flies. 'And it won't be limited to walking all over sh*t and then trampling across your lunches.'
Long-term resident in the eaves of the shed, A. Spider, was up in arms. 'My self-build web is not constructed to standards which would survive a direct strike. I have enough trouble with those pesky butterflies, but dive bombings from dragonflies as well should amount to some sort of war crime.'
Slugs were livid. 'We're feeling pretty damn unappreciated at the best of times. But thanks for all the salt you leave out for us. Really helps with maintaining mineral levels on hot days when we're really sweaty.'
