Sprinkler and Dragonfly.

Dragonfly is called pepatung in a standard Malay Language. Kakdah mentioned about a very peculiar name cakcibo (used among Perakians staying around Bota, Parit and Sitiawan) referring to same dragonfly or pepatung. I am not familiar with that name cakcibo, because I am a Perakian with red Kedah blood.

Dragonflies came and played with the sprinkler nipple almost every morning. Two distinct colour, one is yellowish brown, the other one is brownish. Probably one is male and the other female. I have not seen red or black yet. They really are water lovers! They do have peculiar habit of darting in circles and coming back at the same spot. Just wonder what they eat......
