We had this buzzing around today, it was like a dragon fly but it buzzed really angrily and wasn't quite so big.  Any ideas what it might be and more importantly, does it do anything nasty like sting? http://s28.photobucket.com/albums/c234/daffydolly/issy%20et%20amies/taz/?action=view&current=whatisthisinsect.jpg    Report
