Hi.. Welcome to Andarinjo_O
Hmm.. Perhaps you wondering what Andarinjo is. Well... Andarinjo is dragonfly in Moluccan. So let me explain a bit about it. It is a type of insect belonging to the order Odonata, the suborder Epiprocta or, in the strict sense, the infraorder Anisoptera. It is characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong transparent wings, and an elongated body. Dragonflies are similar to damselflies, but the adults can be differentiated by the fact that the wings of most dragonflies are held away from, and perpendicular to, the body when at rest. Even though dragonflies possess 6 legs like any other insect, they are not capable of walking. Dragonflies are valuable predators that eat mosquitoes, and other small insects like flies, bees, ants, and butterflies. They are usually found around lakes, ponds, streams and wetlands because their larvae, known as "nymphs", are aquatic. So.. "why do you choose that kind of name or animal as your blog's icon?" that's must be your question right? when I was a child, I used to play with my friends on my village with dragonfly. I still remember it, when we played on riverbank and dragonflies flying around us, it was so many of them and it's so beautiful, you probably wont see any of these on big cities. The polution and many kinds of human activities has made it rare to be seen.
