I have watched Merlins catch and eat dragonflies.

It's got me thinking that this boon of dragonflies might manifest in a temporary rise in a particiular species that predates dragonflies. It reminds me of a story, that I may have heard here, about how the redheaded woodpecker populations used to spike in years of the now extinct Mexican Locust. Any thoughts.
