Dragonflies Eat Winged Termites & Fire Ants

Dragonflies Eat Winged Termites & Fire Ants

Several times over the years I have noticed tens to hundreds of dragonflies feeding in various areas over land. Upon closer inspection sometimes I noticed they were feeding on the winged forms of termites or fireants during a swarm, some flying close to the ground to catch the insects shortly after they started flight from high points in the grass or weeds. This is just another reason that dragonflies benefit humans.
