Dragonflies and damselflies are one of my favorite insects, but I think that we don't really give them too much thought.  But I think they deserve more love.  I mean first of all, they eat a lot of insects like mosquitos - both as adults and as larvae - but secondly, the adult form that we see flying around is the end of their life cycle.  By the time we see them, they're on a short timer.  Learn more about these amazing insects on this episode of the Dispatches from the Forest Podcast.
