i bet if it flew at you as fast as it could and hit you on the head it would knock you out lol

Blimey :eek:

It's a bit of a concern that as this country gets hotter by the year, these bloody things and worse will be more common. The British are not ready for big, bitey insects yet

Its the global warming, your island is turning to one big jungle which is full of those big flying thingys

I always thought dragonflys eat misqitoes (i have no idea how to spell that) which is why i liked them..

I like dragonflies, and damsel flies (the littler ones). Very pretty creatures, apart from the 'face' which is just scary.

And yes, they eat Mosquitos, and/or their larvae I believe

I cant stand any bugs....kill 'em ....KILL'EM ALL!!!!
