Dragonfly

Dragonflies are clearly awesome. They have beautiful vibrant colors and they can fly like helicopters: up, down, forward, backwards, and sideways. Now I found one more reason to like them: they eat mosquitoes.

I also found a weird curiosity: they larval stage, called naiad, lasts longer than their adulthood (years vs. months), and in naiad form their breath through their... ass!
