[–] credo@lemmy.world 56 points 2 years ago (3 children) Wait. They eat mosquitos? How do I attract more of these flying dragons? permalink fedilink source hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] zerofk@lemm.ee 59 points 2 years ago Breeding mosquitoes should help attract them. permalink fedilink source parent [–] shalafi@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) Water is the answer my friend. Never had them in my yard, not that I noticed anyway. Buried an old trash can for a water feature. Bam. Dragonflies. I have 3 other ponds. One is a $25 Home Depot pond and the other is a thrift-store witch's cauldron. They all have a couple of goldfish in them, native water plants, and the trash can pond has a solar cell running a 12V water pump. permalink fedilink source parent [–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) Some people even wear a little dragonfly doodad on a wire to deter mosquitoes permalink fedilink source parent
