Mosquito Hawk
American Indians nicknamed the dragonflies and damselflies 'Mosquito Hawk'
because they eat so many mosquitoes!

This 'Mosquito Hawk' was flying around the Lotus & Water lilies.
This one decided to rest on a dried Lotus stalk.

Have a wonderful day.

  Terrific capture, Nancy. I have seen thousands of dragon flies, but never saw one eat anything! But that explains why they hang out near water!
