We have always had a few small ones around the yard but I just saw one at
the new pond that was as big as my hand and was hovering in front of me,
looking me over like hummingbirds do, but way more intimidating than
hummingbirds. So do dragonflies have any method of injuring people?

they CAN bite (I caught one as a child and to get free it bit me (and drew
blood)), but as a general rule they don't swarm or attack people..

looking back I deserved the bite I got!!!

HTH
