Dragonflies and DamselfliesDragonfly
Hello,
We live in NYC, and last night we found this Dragonfly out in the hallway of our building. We would like to know what kind of dragonfly it is. What do these dragonflies eat? Also, how long do they live? Thank you for your help.

Hi Christian,
We believe your dragonfly is a is most likely a Hero Swamp Darner, Epiaeschna heros. They are HUGE. Adults eat small insects caught in flight. They help to control mosquitos. They will only live one season.
