Day 222: Dragonflies!

Hello again,
Today I am thankful for dragonflies and I thought of posting about this because I saw the first dragonfly of the season today!!! They eat mosquitos so I absolutely looooovvvvve them!! lol I have read that they eat ants as well but I don't know if this is true or not. What I found neat years ago when researching dragonflies was finding out that each different colour of dragonfly is actually a different type. I used to think a dragonfly was a dragonfly and they came in different colours. lol Also sometimes people mistake damesflies for dragonflies and they are related but actually not the same. Anyways enough about that. Dragonflies and damesflies are beautiful/interesting insects to me and I enjoy watching them almost as much as watching butterflies. I love anything that eats mosquitoes though and I don't think we can ever have too many dragonflies! If they run out of mosquitoes, I am sure there are lots of other insect pests for them to nibble on. lol This is why I am thankful for dragonflies.
