A dragonfly is any insect belonging to the order Odonata, the suborder Epiprocta or, in the strict sense, the infraorder Anisoptera. It is characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong transparent wings, and an elongated body.
Dragonflies typically eat mosquitoes, midges and other small insects like flies, bees, and butterflies. They are usually found around lakes, ponds, streams, and wetlands because their larvae, known as "nymphs", are aquatic. Dragonflies do not normally bite or sting humans (though they will bite in order to escape, for example, if grasped by the abdomen); in fact, they are valued as a predator that helps control the populations of harmful insects, such as mosquitoes. It is because of this that dragonflies are sometimes called "mosquito hawks" in North America.

The dragon will come lower back because you will could desire to be saved lower back. You refused to place down your problems once you had the prospect. You picked up remnants from the dragon problems that may harm you. Lay your burdens down and go away them there. Who knows in case you will proceed to have help consistently.

I used to be very afraid of dragon flys, till one landed on me rather then try to freak out and brush it off i delt with it long enough to see they will not bother you at all they are really harmless and cool.

I don't care if they fly around me, but I've never been able to hold one. They freak me out a little bit, and I'm always afraid I'm going to get bitten. This is coming from a guy who keeps scorpions and regularly handles them... but I guess we all have our phobias :-)
(Cicadas give me the creeps too, and they're completely harmless.)

No, I am not. They are actually harmless and useful because they eat mosquitoes, midges and other small insects like flies, bees, and butterflies.
I hope you can learn to overcome your fear. They are beautiful creatures.

No they are so pretty. There little wings shimmer in the light making tiny rainbows. They aren't harmless

No. They are beautiful. They are insects not reptiles. I have one tatooed on me. I've never heard of anyone being attacked my one either.

They do look very scary but rest assured, they are totally harmless.
