Dragonfly Hatch...Almost

While down by the river this morning I saw an emerald green dragonfly fanning its wings.  It must have recently hatched.  I searched around on the rocks nearby to find its husk.  What if I could witness a dragonfly hatching?  That would be magnificent.  I would go back home, get the SD card which I had forgotten to replace in my camera, and come back down.
Back at home, I replaced the SD card, remembered I had to water my flowers because I skipped last night.   Might as well hang out the laundry on my way out after watering the flowers. Got sidetracked because Jackson wanted my feedback on a poster he is creating for me.  It was good work, going over his designs with him.
While I was upstairs I gathered another load of laundry and grabbed the book I was reading last night to find that great quote about how being lazy encourages creativity.
Back downstairs, camera in hand, hoisted the laundry outside to hang on the line.  THEN I would go see if I could witness the miracle of a dragonfly hatching.  With the last clothespin left on the line, I spotted this:

Isn't the regularity a wonder?  

 and the resourcefulness?

At the top of the clothespin are two halves of some sort of casing. 

 I'll be keeping an eye on these eggs.
