What is a Dragonfly?
Dragonflies are fast-flying insects known for their long bodies, large eyes, and two pairs of see-through wings. They usually weigh less than an ounce and live for about 6 months to a few years, depending on the species. Dragonflies are expert fliers and can hover, zoom forward, or even fly backwards like tiny helicopters. Their wings are delicate but strong, and their bodies often shine with bright, metallic colors. Dragonflies live near water like ponds, lakes, and marshes because their babies, called nymphs, grow up underwater. These insects eat mosquitoes, flies, and other small bugs, making them helpful friends in nature. With their amazing eyesight and quick reflexes, dragonflies are some of the best hunters in the insect world!
