Dragonflies must look different in different places. When we had Rick's Place, at a certain of the year we had hundreds of dragonflies zooming around eating mosquitoes, which was good. But the dragonflies certainly weren't beautiful, or even pretty. Just some drab color.

At first it was intimidating to me to walk through the open areas where they were zooming, because I was afraid they were going to run into me. But they seem to have very good reflexes and always manage to avoid large moving objects like people.

After I found out that what they were doing was eating mosquitoes, I was as happy to see the dragonflies as the mosquito plane and the mosquito trucks. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
