Abstract:
Dragonflies have worked their way into popular culture perhaps more than any other insect, having appeared on clothing, jewelry, and in works of art, including tattoos. This insect is a beneficial one that devours mosquitoes, biting flies, and other pests to humans. One aspect of their activity that citizen observers report on to scientists is swarming--either in backyards, along beaches, or on migrations. Swarming is the gaping hole in understanding dragonfly biology, and Goforth relates how citizen observations are helping scientists close that hole.

Abstract:
The dragon in this case was not associated with knights, but was of the insect variety. The dragon fly that Dr. Jason Cryan discussed in this article, Phrictus tripartitus, was noteworthy for two reasons. One, its large size (lending it a fearsome appearance) and two, rarity (15 species known in the world).
