The Eastern pondhawk is a type of dragonfly that doesn’t attack people but is a fierce insect hunter. It even goes after fellow dragonflies! One way to spot them: Male pondhawks, which are powder blue (females are green), can sometimes be seen flying over the water in pairs. (The Jab / Shutterstock)
