  • I saw a dragonfly eat a bug like that once when I was in the 7th grade and it looked just like that, except I couldn't make out what kind of bug it was. It looked like a clack speck.

  • Dragonflies, the helicopters of the bug world

  • winged ants aka spawning queen and king ants are great for feeding mantids and spiders. wing muscles and fat in the abdomen.

  • Film one while it's getting a beetle (one about it's size)...

    Because not so long ago, I saw a dragonfly land on the back of a beetle, try to chew on it, and then flew off with the beetle in it's legs.

  • Hi, this is a cool video, but FYI, those are flying termites, not ants.

  • Awesome video! If there's a lot of this in your area, do you think you could get a closer-up video too?
