I find dragonflies fascinating and magical to watch. If you’re an insect, apparently they are the top dog predator, so probably not so great to see them buzzing toward you. 🙂 I guess like life, it depends on your perspective. You can read this article called 7 things you never knew about dragonflies for more fun facts about them.

I’ve been both entertained and educated, Brad 🙂 I thoroughly enjoy watching the wide assortment of dragonflies zip around our Florida friendly yard. Their iridescent colors, their fluid movements, and their almost majestic beauty – they sometimes appear to me as fairies of the insect world 😉 Thanks for sharing!

Agreed Dave. I’ve always thought of them as magical or fairy like too, until I read that article and learned of their fierce hunting skills. 🙂

Do they eat mosquitoes? I’ve always liked them, but that would make me like them more.

I’m with you on this ~ nothing quite a cool as the sight of a dragonfly, they seem very regal ~ masters of living, not a bad way to be!

Regal is a great word Randall. They certainly are masters of flying and catching prey, and pretty cute too. 🙂

I agree on both accounts Indah. I haven’t been able to get a good photo. That’s why I used someone else’s! 🙂
