Lot's of those buzzing around here right now. I've always liked dragon flies.

The largest insect that ever existed was a dragonfly. Meganeura lived during the Pennsylvanian era and had a 24-28” wingspan.

When I was little, my mom told me those were called snake doctors. I never figured out where that came from, but that's what I called them until I got a little older.

I was told the same thing. Here's what I found about that:
Snake doctor, generally used to refer to dragonflies and damselflies in the South, refers to a folk belief that dragonflies follow snakes around and stitch up injuries they may sustain, especially those that leave them in pieces.
