Some small bugs glide on the surface of the water with their legs, forming a zigzag shape, and this bug is called the water shrew. There are small bugs that are constantly swirling on the surface of the water, and their name is called the soy worm. The water was also covered with lotus leaves and lotus flowers, and a mother dragonfly was laying eggs on the lotus leaves, while the father of the dragonfly clutched her neck tightly, ready to take her away when danger came.
