It is Autumn here in Perth. Western Australia. There are dragonflies everywhere, the most I have seen in years. The number of mosquitoes is noticably less. So the earlier comments about what they eat may well be true.

Yes, they are extremely useful in gardens. In fact gardeners use other helpful insects to keep the nasty pests out of their gardens. I am still a novice gardener, but I have learned a few interesting things about natural pest control already. Dragonflies, ladybugs and praying mantises (amongst others) are great partners in reducing pests in your yard and garden. Dragonflies prey on mosquitoes and other small bugs that will annoy you and damage your plants. Ladybugs, despite their pretty, polka-dot pattern, are actually excellent assassins as well. You can buy bags of preying mantis and ladybug eggs to put in your garden. There is no way to force them to stay once they hatch, but those that do will be feast on the buggers that are feasting on your plants. Hope this helps.

They are very useful because they will consume pests that feed off the produce and plants you are growing.
