Purple dragonflies do exist I have taken many photos of them they are about 3 inches long or so they are very pretty and trying to find the name of it but there aren't many that I have seen I have also seen golden ones and bright green with black banding down abdomen those are really pretty too. There are even giant ones that remind me of helicopters they are about 7 or 8 inches long or so and silver grey with a nice sized wing span to boot.
