[@gstoe5560]

How does the videographer get such a wide depth of field for such magnified macro shots without cranking the aperture to f/30 or higher. Also how do he/she maintain such perfect focus on the moving creatures and stay locked on because it's almost like looking through a small microscope. I have a 1:1 macro lens but it could not come close to these videos close up and tracking the moving insects. I would love to know in more detail like behind the scenes like the type of lens and the technical terms for photographers. Amazing videos. Thanks!

They were much much more larger in size in comparison to what they are at the present. Some were even expected to feed on smaller animals of their size so basically carnivorous. Thankfully they became extinct a long time back. What is left now are their enormous fossils which gives us an idea about how big they were.

[@Jin-cj3gl]

it IS a natural way to fend off mosquitos but the introduction of dragonflies into a new territory isn't a natural thing that happen so easily. most of the time, it's not beneficial. What I'm sayin' is, if it escapes, it might be an invasive species.

[@MillerJustinFS]

@@Jin-cj3gl No way, dragonflies are awesome. They are actually closer to endangered than invasive in most places. They only lay eggs as an adult, which is only for 6-8 months, but the larva take years to grow into adults. They eat flies and mosquitoes, the most annoying pests, so who wouldn't want them?

[@theworthysoul]

Only in places where they are a problem though, and with native dragonflies. It’d be damaging to do it in places with harmless or non-biting mosquitoes.

But she saw how he was suffering and didn't want to see it anymore, So she spent his last hours at home. At his burial, It was fall when we buried him. Weirdly enough, Dragonflies we're all over his coffin.

When I was a kid, I had those bug-catcher kits. The ones with the 'butterfly' net and little plastic 'cage'. And I would catch Dragonflies, and Grasshoppers/Locusts and such, and I would let them bite me as well. I was fascinated by how similar their mouths were. They both had like 4 different 'lips', kind of like a + mark. And the Grasshoppers/Locusts would secrete this brown fluid that smelled weird. And I would put leaves in their mouth, and watch how that brown fluid would help break it down, but how the fluid had no impact on my skin as it did with the leaves. It was really interesting to me. I would also catch spiders, and I would put a piece of cardboard down the middle of the bug catcher cage. Then I would take the cardboard out, and watch the spiders fight each other. A lot of the times they didn't fight though, surprisingly. And then whenever any bug I had died, I would put them in this Barbie Doll Mansion house I had, and I would trace their bodies with marker/sharpie, and write down their name under it. That doll house looked like a crime scene, with a lot of murders haha. But I was more of a TomBoy, and didn't play with my dolls, I would just destroy them, and would play with bugs instead. Haha.
