Episode Details

California’s skies are buzzing with an unexpected invasion of dragonflies—especially the speedy, mosquito-hunting wandering gliders. Thanks to warm spring rains, these aerial predators are swarming parks and farms, zipping at 35 mph and devouring hundreds of bugs daily. Their underwater nymph stage turns them into aquatic hunters before they emerge as agile, high-flying assassins with near-perfect success rates. Though their adult lives last just weeks, they’re nature’s tiny fighter jets—keeping pests at bay while symbolizing purity and power across cultures.
