Handfeeding a Dragonfly

YouTube Description:

Noelia found this injured dragonfly on the riverbank of the Willamette. After a few unsuccessful attempts at feeding it, she found one that worked.

Yeah, very clear, close-up focus.

I'm curious to know the aftermath of this. I didn't think insects could really heal broken limbs, so did she have to feed it until it finally gave up and died? Or is it possible to nurse a dragonfly back to health?

I just don't see why she is bothering. The only real point of the dragon fly stage of it's life cycle is to find a mate and do the deed. It's not going to do that with a broken leg. What a tragic waste of ants lives.
