What is a "dragonfly"?
A dragonfly is a fascinating insect known for its agile flight and striking appearance. With their long, slender bodies and large, multifaceted eyes, dragonflies are adept predators that feed on other insects. They have four wings that enable them to hover, fly backward, and change direction rapidly. Dragonflies are often found near bodies of water, where they lay their eggs and spend a significant portion of their life cycle as aquatic nymphs. As adults, they play an important role in controlling populations of mosquitoes and other flying insects.
