We call them "caballitos de San Pedro" in Puerto Rico, which translated from Spanish means "St. Peter's ponies." When my son was about six years old, he told me that he had learned in school that dragonflies ate flies. Since he had an adversion to flies, (he is now 46 and still does) he told me he had decided to make them his favorite insect! Now, each time I see a dragonfly, I get to enjoy the memory of that sweet little boy all over again!
