I saw one yesterday and I starting thinking about them

I dont know anybody that doesnt like or is grossed out by them. Which is weird because theyre a bug and theyre pretty big, and theyre not especially bright and colorful, not always anyways.

maybe its because they dont really land on people or bite or sting, but its weird because theres other noticeable bugs that arent a nuisance that people dont seem to have the same feelings for, like those waterskimming bugs that glide around on streams and ponds

nobody but you dont see the as many people talk about them or actively express a like for them like you do with dragonflies

maybe it really just comes down to them looking cool

I remember seeing small blue ones as a kid at a pool I used to go to but I haven't seen that kind anywhere else...anyway, I am OK with them.

I don't mind them. Same as crane flies. "Daddy long legs" are also neat. Truth be told I don't mind most insects.

Often folk mistake these for Dragon Flies. They are very friendly and just want a hug!

I always thought they were really cool with their speed and hovering. The mosquito munching is a hell of a bonus too.

a lot of insects that people dislike eat mosquitoes (how ironic)

also yeah, dragonflies have the VTOL ability which automatically makes them likable.

It might not be all species, but they're pretty thorough. Stands to reason considering they both mature in water. The adults eat adult mosquitos, the nymphs eat mosquito larva, among other things of course.

They're one of the primary predators of mosquitoes. If they had hands, I'd go for a brofist.

Huh my dad used to tell me when I was a kid that sometimes they do bite people.

Anyway I think they're kinda neat.

Dragonflies are awesome. I saw one that had gotten caught in a spiderweb once. It was a fairly average size dragonfly (like, 3 inch wingspan) but it was a REALLY fucking small spider, like maybe half an inch legspan. It was funny, the dragonfly was thrashing around trying to free itself, and the spider was up in one corner like "fuck this shit". Eventually the dragonfly fought out of the web and dropped to the ground, cleaned itself off for a couple minutes, then flew away.

^Good. let them feast like those 300 Spartans. the more mosquitoes killed the less chance we get to contract some disease they carry. (now isn't a real good time to even get a papercut)

For me I think it's partially because they're big that I don't really mind them. And they also don't be flying in my face like crane flies.
