I was buzzed by a giant dragonfly as a kid in Brooks, Alberta (Canada). I thought it was a bird at first. Had to have a length over 10 inches, similar wingspan and girth of over half an inch. I later found out I wasn’t crazy because my step-mom found one on the ceiling of her beauty-salon. She went running out on to the street.

Today 8/25/10 at 2:20pm Oak Park, MI…my wife stepped out the back door and startled what she described as a dragon fly. When she decribed the size I couldn’t believe they could grow that big (her description was 6″ wing span and about 12-14″ long. She said the girth was as big as her index finger! Since I’de never seen one that big I started serching the internet right away and found this site. WOW:-)

At 3:50pm, June 21, 2010 I was in my backyard in Lakeland, Florida and I saw a huge dragonfly! It was about the size of a chopstick. I didn’t know what it was at first. I was scared, shocked and surprised. I wish I could see one again and study it more closely. I think they’re very interesting.

We have a bunch flying around outside of where I work.. I never thought I’d ever see them that big! It was a bit scary at first when you turn around and see one heading right for you.

I live here in a small city in Alberta,Canada. In the middle of it we have a man made lake. Why are these Insects so endangered? I see around 10 of them everyday just around town. There beautiful yes, But they are vishious. We had one bite and take a huge Chunk of flesh. the ones here are avraged around 5 inch wingspan and 3 inch body aprx. I have one in my Kitchen as we speak just looking at it. Its stormy weather so Ill place it out when the weather is nice. The ones here range from black with blue strips to these devilish blood red colors. but still wounder why there endangered theres a million here. they just started showing up around 3 years ago.

I killed a giant dragonfly before I knew what it was, I feel bad but it was
Incredible over 12 inches long easily and so heavy and strong, and a lot
scary because it was so large and it whipped its abdomen around and sprayed fluid from it.

Hi there, we just saw one last night. (5/29/09) in our home in central Phoenix, Arizona I was sleping when my wife started yelling about something really big flying inside our kitchen. She had the patio door open and she had the bright lights of the kitchen on. We captured it (dragonfly unhurt) and we release it in the backyard. We have never seen anything like it. It was huge and the body was as thick as my wife’s index finger. The wingspan about 8 inches. Beautiful
