Dragonflies do not possess a sting like some other insects; instead, they have strong mandibles used for catching and eating prey. While they can bite if threatened, their bite is not considered harmful to humans and typically feels similar to a pinch. Overall, dragonflies are more beneficial as predators of pests than harmful to people.

Do dragonflies eat lovebugs?

Yes, dragonflies do eat lovebugs. As carnivorous insects, dragonflies primarily feed on smaller flying insects, and lovebugs, which are small and often swarming, can be an easy target for them. Dragonflies capture their prey in mid-air using their agile flying skills and strong mandibles. This makes lovebugs a part of the dragonfly's diet when they are present in large numbers.
