It's hunting. Many insects are born in water, especially mosquitoes, the dragonfly's favorite food. When the skeeter larvae reach their adult form and leave the water (thus escaping from the dragonfly lavae), the adults take 'em in the air.
Curiously, dragonflies are the grandparents of mosquitoes, evolutionarily speaking. Among the oldest insects, dragonflies gave rise to houseflies (or something like them, since this was long before houses) and houseflies evolved those little bloodsuckers.
