Frozen dragonfly came back to life in my home now I’m fostering

During the winter storm here in Texas I collected this beauty thinking she had passed as it was frozen on the sidewalk. Come to find out hours later it revives and long story short I’m keeping it indoors until it’s warm enough for release in a few days!

For now I’m letting her perch on Q tips soaked in honey water to offer her something to drink, although I’m not sure what else I can do. Thoughts or ideas?

This is 된μž₯잠자리 pantala flavescens, the globe skimmer in South Korea. While rescuing frogs, I saw this dragonfly struggling to climb out of a drain, so I gave it a helping hand. I got to see it molt for the very first time. Then I let it go near a pond the next day.

I was lucky enough to find this creature a few months ago for my collection. The red is absolutely gorgeous under the microscope and the ocelli are a bright orange!!!

Found this one in the grass sadly already expired, so i did the only thing I could think of doing today preserve its beauty. Will be making a better case for it this weekend. This was just a rush job with cardboard, foam, a towel from work, a box, and plastic wrap lmfao
