They have wingspans measuring 1 to 5 inches. There are more than 4,000 kinds or species. Many are colored like jewels. Their shiny colored bodies and wings reflect the sunlight, making them a delight to watch in flight. McCALL TIRE CENTER Dragonflies knew about fast food long before humans did. While flying, the dragonfly positions its legs and the bristly spines growing on the legs to form a basket scoop. It collects mosquitoes and other bugs in this bristly basket and then munches its catch, all while still airborne!— The dragonfly’s approach to dinner is like picking up and wolfing down an order of “bugs in a basket” to go!
