So interesting how they go from voracious little ambush predators that stand still and snatch their prey with an unhinging jaw, to extremely agile and fast flying insect destroyers Dragonflies are badass. As are their cuter damselfly cousins.
Why are dragonflies so great? Well, this - but what about the mosquito larvae that escape, hatch, and leave the water? Well, they can get eaten by the actual dragonflies that also left the water. The entire dragonfly life cycle is (especially in my mind) about eating mosquitoes in every stage. And killing mosquitoes is always great.
Yes, I hate mosquitoes with a passion. They are just out to disturb your sleep and suck blood and transfer diseases in the process. I mean wasps are also annoying sure, but they sting to defend, and the operate with open visors, clearly visible in broad daylight. Mosquitoes are cowards, hiding until it’s dark and attacking when you can’t see them. I wish there were infinite dragonflies to kill them all. And this video is great because watching those larvae die, knowing they will never become flying mosquitoes.
That's the most retarded idea ever If nymphs still like that They will be an aquatic problem as well that will constantly eat anything that will ruined part of the food chain Like just cause you saw an animal eating an animal you hate doesn't mean that's gonna solve your problems Problems breeds only problems to attract neither pointless/decent/good or unnecessary solutions so no let these insects continue their affairs in peace without trying to be used for once Plus they aren't the only ones who eats mostiquos for example Frogs birds lizards and mantids also eats them as food source

This video is pure satisfaction at its finest.

God cursed humanity with mosquitos, and then cursed mosquitos with dragonflies.
first they spawn as a submarine and then they become Boeing V22s
Beautiful, I wish I could get a dragon fly larvae as a pet
There are companies who sell them here in the UK
i have one on my aquarium by accident. i have no idea where it came from haha
Agree
@@Martschy lol
Go to a wild pond you will find thousands for free
They act like mantises but underwater
Its the same like the mantis shrimp
They also eat botflies and horsefly larvae.
I love them
thank you tiny bug
we need more dragon fly larvas, too many damn mosquitoes.
We should keep dragonfly in our planet
I LOVE you dear dear majestic dragonfly! Rock on and clean this planet
of those deadly-disease-causing annoying rude damn mosquitos!
Dragonfly larvae and dragonfly are amazing
GET WRECKED MOSQUITO
This guy is chowing down
You got to add some more of these
They also mostly hunt mosquitoes as adults
This is one of the best way to reduce denge fever
This would be an awesome screen saver!
We called dragonfly nymph
How should the water quality be for them?
'Heeeeelllllp meeeeeee! Heeeeelllllp meeeeee!'
Genocide at its finest

Even when young nature is savage when it comes to natural enemies.
yum yum yum... I can watch this all day!
Mosquito larvae: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Dragonfly larvae:nom nom nom nom
As you can see look at the lower lip of the dragonfly larvae
10......10........ Totally a 10!!!!!
It almost looks like a reptile
start at 1:18 and go frame by frame with
Nice video
Good
Haha i like this
As awful 😢 as it is that larva of the mosquitoes 🦟 is being eaten it’s also very satisfying
YES YES YES!!!!!
😍
Om nom nom
😮😮😮😮😮
We need to genetically engineer these guys to always stay at the larva stage, then dump 'em in native ponds and rivers. Mosquito problem: gone.
They will keep eating mosquitos even after growing up lol.
That's the most retarded idea ever
If nymphs still like that
They will be an aquatic problem as well that will constantly eat anything that will ruined part of the food chain
Like just cause you saw an animal eating an animal you hate doesn't mean that's gonna solve your problems
Problems breeds only problems to attract neither pointless/decent/good or unnecessary solutions
so no let these insects continue their affairs in peace without trying to be used for once
Plus they aren't the only ones who eats mostiquos for example
Frogs birds lizards and mantids also eats them as food source
I'm sorry but I hate these dragonfly larva because they also erase fish fry 🤦🏻♂️
