there was a dragonfly trying to run into the windows at my work that got caught in a spider web in the process and it bit me when I was trying to save it >:(

googled to see if it was a bite or a sting and yep! the bloody bastard bit me, how rude.

Dragonflies do bite, and they will bite humans, but only if you catch one and it's trying to escape or defend itself. And only the largest dragonflies will be able to break your skin anyway.

Anything with a mouth can technically bite. What's even weirder is that dragonflies cannot walk in their adult form

    Sounds like they looked at the source directly.

    Lol, I know what dragonflys are. Is there even another insect that looks like them? They are quite distinct.
