That frog was like a hungry hippo. He was a mile late. Dragonflies are beast, had no idea how well built they are. What awesome footage and great video

Amazing photography! So amazing how the frog thinks he has something ... the dragonfly is an amazing flier

I also love how some of them have the paintjob of a racing helicopter or a RedBull stuntplane 🔥

The frog at the end appears as a slow moving doofus. But he made it dramatic!
