And that’s how you know FR is cool. Yes. Giant Dragonflies are indeed a menace that may only be neutralized by Godzilla. We have a movie to prove it.

Dragonflies are incredible. In addition to this article, I read on a while back that said they often eat while flying, and I think they can also fly backwards and upside down. They have a 90% success rate in hunting, as compared to lions and tigers, who have about a 50% rate of success. Most successful predators on earth.

But they are prey to the Robber fly. I've seen Robber Flies catch a couple of dragonflies.

Robber Fly, about half the size of most average Dragonflies, a little over an inch long.

I've never been bitten by a dragonfly, but have had several perch on a finger for a couple of minutes. Butterflies too.

I've taken loads of pictures of them...

Not easy to photograph flying, but I've been able to get a few shots.

What is going on with Flickr? It's been incredibly sluggish the past couple of weeks...so slow it's annoying to use these days...
