Most I've seen have been rather friendly and one in particular seemed as though he just wanted his picture taken - he would adjust himself in front of the camera - fluttering away a couple of inches and switching sides - not really bothered by the big lens coming at him each time - he just watched me as I was watching him. CUTE!

There was even a short lived chase from a Cicada Killer Wasp, in which the Blue Dasher quickly left the wasp wondering what she had been chasing.
