When my father took us fishing from a rowboat, we could see the damselflies. He would tell us “If you talk, one of them will come over and sew your lips together”.
That’s why some species are called Darners. (darner is one who darns while dragonfly is an insect of the suborder ’’(taxlink) or, more strictly, the infraorder anisoptera with four long transparent wings held perpendicular to a long body.)
On this date in 1918 Baron von Richthofen AKA “The Red Baron” was shot down by Captain Arthur Roy Brown. The Red Baron is now remembered through Bubble Gum Pop Music

I know some people call dragonflies “devil’s darning needles,” but that’s ridiculous.

It’s true, they do. That’s what I was told when I was just a little whipper snapper.

The Norwegian word for dragonfly is “øyenstikker” which means “eye stinger.” I don’t know why they got that reputation.

Probably they don’t let you eat because if you swallow them accidently, they get stuck in you throat…?
