This feels like a copypasta from a better universe than ours
This appears bespoke. Subscribe.
They are super cool and super territorial by all accounts. We were in a pop-up pub in a field and this guy kept coming to sit on our hands. I guess we were in his spot…
You’ve enlightened me. I love dragonflies too now.
Found OP:
I think Dragonflies are pretty cool too. Thanks for the fun facts!
In return, here is the best dragonfly photo I have taken to date.
Cool!
Here's my latest:

So what do they eat as larvae? Mosquito eggs?
Anything that move and smaller than them, even fish, as they're ambush predator, by launching their dino-grabber-like mouth part to grab their prey and send it right into their mouth. They also have jet butt. If the adult is the airforce, the nymph is the navy.
Yes mosquito larvae is indeed one of the things they eat in the water
Sounds like you might be interested in reading a manhwa called "Jungle Juice".
A bug killer spray called "Jungle Juice" is being sold. After using the spray, they gain a "complex", which essentially turns them into at a human-bug hybrid with whatever they killed. The main character killed a Golden-ringed Dragonfly.
Could you post some pics of the trashcan? Sounds cool, might want to make one

That voice acting! Marvelous!
You’re the person that makes me exhale In relief when i am at social gathering with an uncomfortable amount of people around.
...I would be very interested in seeing how you describe your hummingbirds!
That was absolutely glorious and insanely witty. I've been called witty before and this had me feeling joyfully outclassed. I thought I was in for some crazy copy pasta but it just ended up further educating me on WHY dragonflies are so cool.
(And yeah damselflies, psh. Bugs. Seeing a dragonfly is a GOOD day.)
I hope this becomes a copy pasta. It was legit hilarious and awesome to read.
Dang it I'm really hoping you're having like *a really good day. * Thanks for writing this. :D
