A big darn dragonfly. It took quite a large chunk out of my arm, and it ended up badly infected in no time
Thanks for this. New fear unlocked
That was in Crete, I don't know why it attacked but I still have a mark where it got me. It just randomly landed on my arm. It was almost as long as my arm, and I showed my little brother.
And then I yeeted it off of my with a slap. It took quite a punch and did not follow after that.
Dunno know about Cretan dragons, but I've never even heard of someone getting bit in the South (US). I'm around them all time.
I had no idea they would/could bite humans. Think you could share a link to the species or something?
Think one nipped me as a child, but I'm around them all the time and never heard of anyone getting bit. We get some absolute units down here!
Would you like to know more?

That was an excellent writeup, thanks for sharing
Best I can do is ask my grandma if she caught a glimpse of it. I was 14 back then
Did you ask her? Lol
Just called her, she does not know either. But she did confirm that it was on Crete
