Millions of dragonflies make the epic migration every year, which spans from India to the Maldives, the Seychelles, Mozambique, Uganda and back again.</H4></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://ecoworldly.com/2009/07/22/14000km-dragonfly-migration-discovered-longest-of-any-insect/"><H4>Perhaps the only thing more amazing than the migration is that it has somehow dodged scientific discovery until now. “This just illustrates how little we still know about the natural world,” <A href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_8149000/8149714.stm">said</A> Charles Anderson, discoverer of the mass migration.</H4></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://ecoworldly.com/2009/07/22/14000km-dragonfly-migration-discovered-longest-of-any-insect/">Charles Anderson is a biologist who works at the Maldives Marine Research Center. Upon noticing the millions of dragonflies arriving each year, he decided to ask around about it. The event is well known to locals, but no one he spoke to seemed to know where the dragonflies come from</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/46B21F9B-A933-4328-A804-3658994DE9A3/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
