Dragonflies come in several different colors, but the individual in each species are normally all the same color. You would need to see a variety of dragonflies to see the differences.

Also, not only do dragonflies come in different colors, they also go in different colors, but generally in the same color they came in! (With the exception of those iridescent ones whose skin reflects light with different rainbow colors depending on the angle of the light!) ________________ Because of the reflective and iridescent nature of these insects it's difficult to speak of and define their colours. They certainly do come in different colours, and are simply beautiful in their variety. ________________

Why do dragonflies follow you?

I presume you mean, why do 'I' see dragonflies everywhere 'I' look. Well, to the best of my knowledge, in the Esoteric tradition, Dragonflies don't ring any bells. In honesty, your probably just in an area highly populated by Dragonflies,or your attracting them for some reason, scent perhaps? Remember that you have 'programmed' your mind to look out for them, so you probably 'see' them more then others would in the exact same place. Not all naturally occurring phenomenon are to be interpreted as omens. Often when one something appears in our lives we become sensitised to addition sightings of the same kind. As an example I rarely noticed the make, model and colour of car I now drive until I owned one and started looking for it in parking lots. Then it seemed every fourth car was similar to mine. Dragonflies eat midges, black flies and mosquitoes among other things and in a year like this one that has had a lot of rain (at least in my area of the world) the creatures that prey upon the creatures that prey upon me are always a most welcome and joyous sight. There are those who believe that Dragonfly can be interpreted as illusion, and as a metaphorical reminder of a time when magic was still something we believed in. Others see it as flighty and carefree.
