My favorite time of the summer is when I walk outside expecting to be eaten 
alive by the 'skeeters, and instead find myself enveloped in a swarm of dragon 
flies. It's like a WWI dogfight with about a billion aircraft. Very nifty. And 
I know every one of those dragon flies is hoovering 'skeeters out of the air. 
If I could buy 'em a beer, I would.
