~Dragonflies~

(American 767)









Dragonflies are odonata

they have close large eyes

bigger than the damselflies



Have slender bodies two wings

Variety numerous

they eat other small insects



Attack small fish and tadpoles

eat mosquitos and midges

they live in diverse biotope



Some are found in ponds and swamps

Prefer to live in wetlands

Some live in lakes acidic bogs



Male grasps the head of female

Sperm transfer fertilizes eggs

Some female lays eggs alone



Eggs dropped in aquatic plants

or directly in water

Some larvas stage in ponds marshes



When ready to change into adult

They climb out of the water

Shed skin become dragonfly



Dragonflies are unique insects

Colorful beautiful

Adults can live up to two months
