Dang, this is neat. I wish I could experience it. The best I get is maybe half-a-dozen buzzing around me in my backyard during breeding season. I find it actually annoying that people were freaking out about it.

Ohhhh. . . that was our beach when I was growing up. Lotta nice memories.
I do remember seeing some big dragonflies, which used to freak me out as a kid (they look menacing if you don’t know better, but that video looks pretty cool.)
