@PleaseBugMe Dragonfly larvae (nymphs) zoom around underwater using jet propulsion out their butts https://t.co/1CMhk3rPCL
@venturini_eric Good question. Check this out, “Jet-propulsion in dragonfly larvae is achieved by the rapid ejection of water from a specialised rectal chamber via the anus.” https://t.co/80s9RoFmPj
So some dragonfly larvae achieve jet propulsion by shooting water from their anus. Go home, evolution, you're drunk. http://t.co/k23FRii6tB
