Initially you stated humans have a messy, work around of a respiratory system. While what you have described in dragon fly nymphs is elegant in its way, it seems just as complicated and "messy" an adaptation as ours. Fascinating! I am always enlightened by your essays.
What I love about Substack is the subject matter experts writing essays like this. EO Wilson would be proud of you Walter! 👏
Thanks, and I know he was.
