I live in northern Minnesota, and what is up with the dragonflies this time of year?

Question

They are all over the place.

Answer 1

I live in the central part of Minnesota, and we have them here more than usual. However, I don't knew about there cycle, but I'm told that every few years you will get swamped with them.

Answer 2

That's good!  Dragonflies eat mosquitoes and other small insects and don't bite people.  Send some to WI.

Answer 3

Be thankful that you have them.  Would you rather be swamped with mosquitoes?  

I love dragonflies. They are a wonderful sign of summertime and they fly so gracefully.
