Ocean-Crossing Dragonflies Discovered

grrlscientist writes "While living and working as a marine biologist in Maldives, Charles Anderson noticed sudden explosions of dragonflies at certain times of year. He explains how he carefully tracked the path of a plain, little dragonfly called the Globe Skimmer, Pantala flavescens, only to discover that it had the longest migratory journey of any insect in the world."

Typical arrogant statement:

only to discover that it had the longest migratory journey of any insect in the world."

...known to man! It’s like a doctor stating “there is no cure” (Implying “and there never will be. Ever.”) When what he should have said, is “I personally have never heard of a cure. But maybe it’s just because I would never think about learning something new, because I think I already know everything. After all, I’m god!”

(This no critique of anything or anyone other, than that part of the quote, and the person who wrote it.)

Hey, you disagreeing does NOT make this a troll.

This is a fact. Come with me, let’s meet a doctor. Let’s test this out. I bet you $100 this is how it”s working.
You being in denial and repressing it (also trough moderation) does not change that.
Even doctors themselves complain about other doctors acting like that. While doing it themselves.

Man, some moderators are intolerant stupid close-minded asses...
