Certain dragonflies if you look close enough,their heads resemble a person their profile anyway.their wonderfull to have around!!😊❤❤❤❤

I absolutely love Dragonflies! I didnt realise they preyed on mosquitos but that makes sense. I regular visit a lake with a water fountain aerating the water and I never get bitten by mosquitos however at the weekend we visited a still lake with very few shallow areas and much less biodiversity and i have atleast 3 big itchy mosquito bites =_= Thankyou for another reason to adore dragonflies!! Xx

There really is a lot to love about them, dragonflies that is - mosquitoes, not so much!!

In other words to have dragonflies to control mosquitoes you need an environment that mosquitoes need to flourish . Nature in action.

are the videos auto generated? There are perch (fish) videos when you talk about perches for dragonflies 🤣

Very informative… except that you showed a lot of damselflies in your video. I mean, they’re in the same family and have similar diets, but they’re still different.

Thank you so much! Damselflies also eat mosquitos ;) Win, win!

Actually not in the same family. They diverge on the suborder level and comprise completely different families.

Was wondering what dragonflies were doing in a wooded area without a single permanent water feature. Tons of mosquitoes back there.

I tried to have perches all around my garden, seems dead fish haven't attracted any dragon flies yet, just regular flies..

If you want to provide for wildlife adding gold fish or guppys to your pond is a terrible idea. I think they will eat the dragonfly nymphs as they will eat frog eggs, tadpoles and other larvae in the water.

@@GardenBoundAnswers I think it depends on where you are in the world, I am just making my first (stagnant) minipond in Norway following the advice of Joel Ashton (Wild your Garden) and other brits. He has commented about the difference in climate when it comes to mosquitoes, all the wildlife ponds (big and small) he builds for clients are without pumps . My biggest problem is sourcing native pondplants as they are not sold commercially. I want local hornwort which is an excellent oxygenator, European frogbit (its native, but rare in the wild) and some plants which stick up for the dragonflies to hopefully emerge from. They all say (I’m talking to an ecologist on youtube as well) that the ponds will balance out in time regarding the mosquitoes with different predators, but I know Joel has said it might not in hotter climates.

We just put a bunch of fishing bobbers in the yard they always land on fishing bobbers 😂😂😂
