Why don't you try using TapTalk app and upload the photo from there. In the meantime can you describe the damage?

Bugs in general if not cleaned off a vehicle in a proper amount of time will break down. The proteins and acids will start to etch into clear-coat, much like bird droppings. Now if you're talking a dent or scratch, I could not imagine even the largest dragon fly causing a dent or a scratch.

If it were a bird? Yes, very possible to cause damage... especially if it's a large bird.

What did he witness? Dragonflies on his hood? How many? What did they do?

I can 100% accept that he has seen dragonflies on his hood. But I have trouble believing that the damage was caused by them, and that the owner has actually witnessed that process.

I have had a car here that dragonflies loved to land and rest on. But I've never seen a single tiny scratch ever, that I could have attributed to them. The car was full off insect remnants, but not a single scratch, ever.

But then again, maybe these dragonflies had the rabies, or something
