Insectober #6 - Unexpected Predator

Fear not, a Dragonfly will never do any harm to you ! But they WILL eat mosquitoe Larvae and many more. Both the adult Imago and Juvenile form are fearful predators, and therefor play in important role in ecosystems.

Odonates (that's how they're called) are a very ancient order of insects on earth, and probably some of the first to develop the hability to fly. They live and breed next to water, and lay down in it. The juveniles are called Naïades, and leave underwater where they feed on plancton, insects and sometimes even small fish!

Globe Skimmer (Pantala flavescens)

Family: Libellulidae (Skimmer Dragonfly Family)

IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also known as the Globe Wanderer or Wandering Glider, the Globe Skimmer is by far the most widespread and abundant dragonfly on earth - it can be found on every continent except Antarctica, and can be found in almost any habitat that provides suitable water (although it is regionally somewhat rare in Europe.) It is perhaps best known for its migratory behavior, engaging in “multi-generational migrations”, meaning that migrations are carried out somewhat like a relay race - part of the overall migration is carried out by one generation which, upon arriving at a destination, mates and dies, with the next generation then travelling to the next location in the overall migration to ensure that their offspring are born in conditions that increase their chance of surviving for long enough to mate themselves. Different populations of Globe Skimmers travel to different locations depending on where they are born (for example Globe Skimmers born in India cross the Indian Ocean and migrate to eastern Africa in the autumn/fall and upon arriving they breed and produce offspring which will then migrate back to India to breed in the following spring), but in its lifespan a single Globe Skimmer may travel 6,000 km (3,730 miles), while a multi-generational migration may involve travelling over 18,000 km (about 11,200 miles). Globe Skimmers mate while in flight and typically lay their eggs in temporary ponds or deep puddles - the larvae develop very quickly and typically reach full maturity within 30-60 days. As with all dragonflies, both adult and larval Globe Skimmers are agile carnivores - adults feed on smaller flying insects, while larvae feed on aquatic invertebrates, tadpoles and even small fish.

Extra Fun Fact: In areas where they occur, it is believed that Globe Skimmers rely on seasonal winds (winds that change directions as the seasons change) to make their migrations easier (typically migrating in the same direction that the wind is blowing.) The changes in wind direction may also be partially responsible for triggering this species’ migratory instincts.

Odón of the Confraternity of Salt. *cough* daddy *cough*. This big boy tested my patience so many times while drawing him. It was fun to do a rainy setting for the first time, wanted it to be similar to the area you fight him at. Also of course I worried too much about details that are blurred now 🤡. He beat my ass a lot in the game, but I still love you Odon, my man.

Next up is finally The Penitent One which I'm really excited for. I know EXACTLY how to draw him so hopefully he'll turn out good 🤞

Landry's household was hit pretty hard by the famine. While Tassin is a good enough hunter and forager to still find ways to feed his family, Landry relied only on his crops, so when the crops stopped growing, things became difficult. After Yolande, Bérenger passed away from hunger, quickly followed by his triplet sister Louise. Odon hung on as much as he could, but he also went.

They are buried in the garden, with Eléonore.

That leaves Landry with two living children, Margot (that he had with Eléonore) and Alix (that he had with Géralda).

The dice gods went "yeah, this guy hasn't been through enough, let's kill four of his kids in one go... Also let's take out all the potential heirs, why not?"

The Blasphemous II boss fighting experience ranges from guys that absolutely demolish you, that you emerge from defeating with blood, sweat and tears and happy to see the sun, to a fight which only has one phase and you manage to breeze through and have to wonder if you missed something.

So running around Cvstodia looks like this:

#in other words #love this game /genuine #i beat lesmes and infanta as my first boss (duo?) when they had 3 phases and required a good strategy to get through #then went on to orospina and radames in that order and was very surprised at how much easier they were (to me)#and then got my ass kicked by afilaor and later odon #love you hate you odon fight #blasphemous #blasphemous 2 #sonne rambles
