I love those guys. You just know mosquitoes will be gone soon.

When I was ten or eleven, my brother and I learned that a dragonfly tied to a string will not fly around for you as much as you would like it to. Even if you try to use really light string. A dragonfly will not willingly be a mosquito "attack dog" or toy.

Yeah, dragonflies are so cool. They're like little helicopters. If there are a lot of dragonflies this size for the rest of the summer, the mosquitoes don't stand a chance.
