I found out the dragon flies around my house are Blue Dashers.
They actually saved me from some wasp the other day.
I was cleaning up around a fence when I disturbed a red wasp nest and several angry wasp went flying up away from their nest. I was expecting to get pummeled by them and was running like hell with my hands over my head but not one got me.
I looked up and there where several blue dashers intercepting the wasp on the wing with vigor.
They are amazing hunters and I never knew they took wasp like that.
