Beachgoers can usually expect a visit from a seagull or a spotting of a washed-up sea creature. What about a swarm of dragonflies?
That's exactly what visitors at Rhode Island's popular Misquamicut State Beach got this weekend when a flock of dragonflies suddenly flooded the beach.
In videos shared on social media, hundreds of dragonflies can be seen passing through the busy Westerly beach Saturday as onlookers react.
