I came accross a book from 1890 called "Dragon Flies vs. Mosquitoes" in which a 
group of entomologists discuss a plan for breeding the one to eat the other.

Is there any version of this idea that might work? Are there plants or 
artificial habitats that I could put in my yard that would make it a place that 
dragon flies would like to live, or were these scientists bitten crazy?
