Apparently in high winds, dragonflies become shooting missiles and impale themselves into things, such as trampoline netting. The first dragonfly they found was a pretty bright green. They get stuck becuase they manage to get their heads and front legs through, but the wings obviously won't co-operate.
This time around the dragonfly was brown and green. We've now figured out the best extraction process... take a trowel and push on it's nose to push it backwards through the netting. And.. zippp... they fly off.
Click the pictures to enlarge... they're pretty cool.
