Every time a dragon fly is near me I think of my dad.  We used to scoop out helgramites (dragon fly nymphs) out ponds for perch fishing.  When dad passed my sisters gave us stick pins of dragon flies to commemorate dad.  Now we all have dragon fly decorations in our gardens, etc.   Smiley Smiley

A friend of mine put in a Dragon Fly friendly garden in his back yard which border's on a seasonal swampy area.

Difference was noticeable.

This article says even Fake Dragon flies will keep mosquitoes and BITING flies away.

For the people who trip in hot weather and fight the bugs, this might not be so crazy if it helps  Grin Grin Grin

In the right season, we always favored campsites that had dragonflies cruising the site.  Cool We considered them to be our friends.  Cool

I was standing on the shore of Quetico Lake, swarmed by mosquitoes and heard the whine of one close to my ear, a dragonfly swooped by my face and around my head and the whine disappeared!  Dragonflies definitely eat mosquitoes!
