It happened twice the last couple weeks. Late in the afternoon, over a spot in the yard, hundreds of dragonflies have gathered, swarmed, and then disappeared. The second time, I was able to catch a video.
From what I’ve been told, they were most likely congregating to hunt and eat abundant insects that were also swarming. The dragonflies weren’t the only ones hunting. It didn’t take long before the birds noticed what was going on and started dropping from the nearby trees to snatch the dragonflies out of midair. It was quit the show.
