I was at the boundary waters with my kids and we were setting up camp when a huge cloud of mosquitoes came at us from the lake. I though we were in for a rough night then our heroes approached. A swarm of big ugly black dragon flies. In maybe 10 minutes the dragonflies turned the cloud of mosquitoes into their dinner. It looked like air combat, they were picking off their pray whether it was mid air or off of my nose. We all cheered for our heroes who suddenly looked much more attractive.

Amazing video, was it taken at 960 fps? I am shopping for a new camera and I must admit that the possibility of making slow motion video is very appealing. The documentary about dragonfly that you linked was very interesting, thank you.

Thank you for a beautiful video. It was wonderful to witness such beauty and grace and a joyful time to contemplate aerodynamics while appreciating what we are blessed to be surrounded by and with.

I find the difference between the way these damselflies and the dragonflies in the video linked above to be very interesting. Thank you for allowing us to compare the way these two types of insects fly.

Damselflies and moths sit with their wings folded parallel along their backs; dragonflies and butterflies sit with their wings outstretched perpendicular to their bodies.

Very cool. I had no idea they paddled their wings for lift. You could have left out the segment at the end when you pee in the lake.
