Dragonflies feed upon smaller insects, such as tiny flies, gnats, mites, Spiders and small crawling bugs. They also eat the eggs and larvae of other insects.
Gnats are a dragonfly's main food, and these often congregate in small swarms over water- this is why dragonfly's usually live near ponds, rivers or streams, and can be seen in fine weather flitting about above the surface of the water and hovering, trying to catch a meal.
