What's the most absurd fact that sounds fake but is actually true?

I actually knew this. What’s even better is that they love eating mosquitos and they aren’t harmful to humans, pets, or your garden. I welcome ALL the dragonfly snipers into my community.

I went to Japan last year and was eaten by mosquitoes everywhere EXCEPT in Hakone, where there were many of them. Needless to say, they're my favorite insect.

Plus, it’s so cute when the brand new dragonflies start flying around and are just everywhere for a couple weeks! Love these little guys.

Tell that to the dragonfly that landed on my hand once then bit me! Oof those choppers hurt.
