A dragonfly is a type of insect belonging to the order Odonata, the suborder Epiprocta or, in the strict sense, the infraorder Anisoptera. It is characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong transparent wings, and an elongated body. Dragonflies are similar to damselflies, but the adults can be differentiated by the fact that the wings of most dragonflies are held away from, and perpendicular to, the body when at rest. Even though dragonflies possess 6 legs (like any other insect), they are not capable of walking.
Dragonflies are valuable predators that eat mosquitoes, and other small insects like flies, bees, ants, and butterflies. They are usually found around lakes, ponds, streams and wetlands because their larvae, known as "nymphs", are aquatic.

This was the other. I think they were the same color, but the lighting was a little different, as this one was in more sunlight.

Id taken from a similar photo on Flickr, on which Dennis Paulson commented "Rhodopygia hinei, the only species of the genus found in Central America. In R. cardinalis, the front of the thorax is also red." Of course, id is partly a guess, since I didn't get an angle from which to photograph the front of the thorax.
