I painted a dragonfly today. I remember when I was younger, there were times as children, we would go hunting  dragonflies. We had techniques we applied when catching them. 
I know of two: 
1st is get close enough gently from behind and speedily catch it from behind
2nd and funniest is to go face to face with the dragonfly and tilt your face side to side like your hypnotizing it; then with a swipe, you catch it.
