A generous donor who prefers to remain anonymous made a contribution to my challenge and requested some artwork from the sprogs. In particular, the donor requested dragonflies:
Many species are considered vulnerable or imperiled by the Nature Conservancy (Species Report Card) and it’s my next animal group to target for outreach and conservation. …
Please post the jpg image on your website for awareness of dragonflies… I don’t want any recognition for me. Please acknowledge the little artist with teh mad skillz though! We need entomologists to describe and name all the new species we are overlooking – maybe inspiration will happen with your readers and the bug-loving schoolkids:)
The sprogs and I offer our heartfelt thanks, and the pictures:
From the younger Free-Ride offspring:

From the elder Free-Ride offspring:
Those are lovely pictures. I’m glad your anonymous donor asked for Sprog art, specifically dragonflies.
Thank you kindly little Free-riders! I love the antenna hearts – how creative and beautiful:) And I’m so glad the elder artist illustrated that dragonflies have huge eyes and great vision.
