It would be unusual for at least one culture not to have found that irresistible human urge - eating - to be applicable to the dragonfly. Sure enough in Indonesia they are eaten both in their larval and adult forms. They are caught on sticky poles then fried and eaten. This is considered a great delicacy - and it has to be said that they are an excellent source of protein!

Ha ha ha. Great find, Ray. You must "google" like crazy to find this stuff. Good for you and great for us. Thanks very much.

A very nice presentation of photos-well done. In terms of travel, only stay at the Hilton-Df munchers are not allowed in the hotel, and it is relatively a safe place-usually, there is a nice garden to fly about in too! Nice article, thanks.
