Sky Hunters, The World of the Dragonfly - The Secrets of Nature
by
The Secrets of Nature
They hover over ponds and pools and inhabit the banks of rivers and streams. With their dazzling metallic colours and unique ways of flying they are truly jewels of the air. This film presents dragonflies as they have never been seen before. Fascinating close up shots take us into the world of these insects, which have lived on earth since the age of the dinosaurs. Spectacular super slow motion shots and elaborate computer animation uncover, for the first time, how dragonflies capture their prey at lightning speed while flying and how they mate in the air.

The Zenithoptera group is an apart group within the libellulidae family of odonatas. Zenithoptera, that sometimes imitate a butterfly in it's erratic fly is the only dragonfly (to my knowledge) that close their wings toward the Zenith while perched, besides having a gracious lepidopterous (butterfly and moth) fly and a beautiful metalic non-transparent wings.

Dragonflies as Pets
by
jacktube11
These beautiful and interesting insects can be coaxed onto your finger for closer observation. They have no stingers, so can't sting and if a curious specimen tries to taste the finger it is sitting on, it will be no more than a very slight pinch. Even the biggest ones can't break the skin. In the several thousand dragonflies I have held, only to have even attempted to bite and it was out of curiosity, not anger.

Here's a few of the dragonflies, damselflies and demoiselles one can find in East Kent, England. These were all taken at Dover and at Wickhambreaux near Canterbury. Slight error, the 'Black-tailed Chaser' should have read 'Black-tailed Skimmer'. Oh well.
