    Better title: Dragonflies visit human-occupied beaches.

    I would rather be swarmed by dragonflies then sand fleas. Dragonflies are awesome!

    They're gonna go state-to-state, starting with the smallest, to eradicate all mosquitoes in the US.
  • Notice how despite thousands of dragonflies being present, not one human is panicking? The dragonflies seem to mind their business and keep away.

    I bet nobody around there is needing bug spray this day. Dragonflies are plentiful and welcome here.

    Dragonflies eat mosquitos. I'm good with however many want to swarm around me.
