I saw this exact same thing in my backyard the other day. Can a dragonfly defend itself? I didnt know if they had stingers on the tails or not.

I saw a baby bumble bee and appeared to be winning too heh. I got too close and the battle stopped so I guess I spared the dragonfly haha.

dragonflies are the ultimate insect hunter,but having no sting are pretty useless in a fight(what people think are stingers is actually breeding apparatus)

1. This is not a bee, it looks like a wasp.

2. Dragonflies can't sting. They have powerful jaws though.

Both are hunters. Wasps and dragonflies hunt other insects for food. I wonder who started the attack? D:

That was a hornet, bees only attack in self defence and a bee can only sting once as a hornet will sting multiple times to kill prey.

dragonfly have nastyy bites, they can defend themselves sometimes

[stalkingalizee]

That isn't a bee, it is a yellow jacket or some kind of wasp family.

Dragonflies feed on wasps, I guess in this case things did not go according to plan.
