Always stuff to learn, right?
Spotted this in wetlands in New Orleans. The dragonfly had already reached adulthood when s/he emerged from this larval casing. Process is called eclosion.
Learned this and more from Dragonflies and Damselflies, by Dennis Paulson. Useful book if you're photographing or even just observing dragonflies.
