good thing you killed the wasp for it cuz i dont think a dragonfly has the balls to kill a wasp or bee by itself. see other vids where dfs are gettin owned by bee/wasp
Dragonflies only eat prey alive. They are definitely capable of seizing and eating stinging insects. Read some entomology texts and check out more insect books and you'll see that they are marvelous hunters.
I don't get how he got the bugger (& it is a BIG one) to land on him! I've seen many, but they've never landed on me... closest was when a damselfly decided to share my fishtank one time - found it perched on the glass.... beautifull creatures.
I saw your answer in the latest "New Scientist" (15th November 2008) And I wasn't expecting a URL in it. While listening to music ( which I was doing while reading the magazine ) I stumbled to my computer and typed it in, anway, great video.

let that dragonfly bite your belly button and you'll know how to swim! Trusth me it work, I let one bite me and now i know how to swim I'm not lieing. I even let one bite my lil cousin in the belly but then she pull away and the head went off 0_0" so yea it was still on her belly! lol
@TheGreaterGood80 Wasps eat mosquitoes and horse-flies (both of which 'eat' people), and although they are more likely to sting you than a bee, they only sting large mammals in self-defense. That makes the little guys okay in my book :-)
Well, if you're gonna wear a TABLECLOTH as a shirt, you shouldn't be surprised when things land on you to enjoy their meal! ROFL! ;)

@enchantrune4 as long as you don't try to hold them they won't bite, in fact they are pretty docile and easily spooked.
