Where's A Digital Camera When You Need One?

i just saw the biggest, scariest looking dragonfly i've ever seen, out on the sidewalk in front of this office building. It must have been six inches long.

They're not dangerous are they?

Just don't show fear. They can smell fear. ;-)

...only dangerous if you happen to be a small flying insect.. so, be sure to dress accordingly tomorrow...

Annie:

The simple answer is "No", they are not dangerous.

Look for some other nightmare.

Everyone is lying to you, annika. They'll land you your shoulder, and when you turn your head when someone says, "Hey! There's a dragonfly on your shoulder!" they whip their tails over their back, up your nose, and they'll suck your brains out.

On the other hand, it does clean your sinuses out nicely.
