Humans are constantly inventing technology and looking for drugs to repel mosquitoes, but in fact nature has provided natural predators to repel these blood-sucking insects. The predator has transparent wings with a head dominated by large round eyes. The name of the predator is dragonfly, which lives in habitats that have clean water resources.

One day, I found a large dragonfly with a green color. The dragonfly flies between the grass and the walls of the house, looking for mosquitoes that stray during the day.

Later I found out about this type of dragonfly, its name is Orthetrum sabina.

Orthetrum sabina, the slender skimmeror green marsh hawk, is a species of dragonfly in the family Libellulidae. It is widespread, being found from south-eastern Europe and North Africa to Japan and south to Australia and Micronesia.
