Group Name: Anisoptera
Common Name: Dragonfly
Adult dragonflies are generally stout bodied and
when at rest spread their wings out to the sides. They are large, conspicuous
insects often found close to fresh water. Eggs are laid into, or close to,
water. The larvae generally adopt an aquatic lifestyle, although there are a
few exceptions. They feed on aquatic animals such as other insects and tadpoles.
The adults are predators that often capture prey while flying. They are known
to attack mosquitoes, aphids and other pests.
