I've never seen a Dragon Fly, presumably these are flies which eit=

I'm not trying to be the grammar policeman, and in this case, ther=
e was probably no misunderstanding, but it was an opportunity to inform. Th=
e rule is, if the critter is a real fly (possessing two wings only, order D=
iptera), then "fly" is a separate word in the name.

If "fly" is part of a larger word, it is not a Fly.
