~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 Dorian Petersen Potter aka ladydp2000 copyright@2009 October.28.2015
