Favorite flying insect?

The Dragonfly. We call them "Mosquito-Hawks" down here for a reason and you'll never see anyone from down here kill one either.

Never kill a dragonfly, just shoo them away if they bother you. They KILL mosquitoes.

Same thing in the bayous…mosquito hawk and lightning bugs

I severely underestimated this threads potential.

First time I saw fireflies I swear I had found tinkerbell and her crew

Lightning bugs

Why do you think their vision is so damn good and they move like Dragon Ball Z characters? They snatch those fuckers mid-flight.

Yeah, it's an amazing sight to see!

ZIP!

POW!

Then you see the Dragonfly hovering and eating...

Bees because they are fuzzy and provide a valuable service.

Most animals run away from you. bees actively chase you. And I'm pretty sure they talk shit. Fucking flying up and down and what not

I remember there was a hornet flying around the sidewalk fucking with me. I had a stick and tried to hit it and i swear it was dodging it like superman.

The look in its eyes was like "you fucked up" but then I just went into crazy mode and it backed off.

The big fuck off mantis ofc (even if it uses it's wings solely for psychological warfare)

Dragonflies are dope

You nailed it. They look really cool and they eats tons of mosquitos. When I was a kid I had a plan to have a whole family of pet dragonflies constantly fly around me to keep mosquitoes away from me.

They only chase you because they want to inform you about their lord and savior Beezus Christ.
