The transition from a larva to a dragonfly

$Tot 35-44mm, Ab 20-30mm, Hw 24-30mm.\nOne of the larger Sympetrum species. In the field, males may be noticed because they seldom become as deeply red as other species and have a rather parallel-sided abdomen.\nHabitat: Wide range of places, especially preferring warm, stagnant waters. These are often shallow and bare, this species being a pioneer of newly created ponds. Occasionally in flowing or brackish water.\nFlight Season: May be seen all year in the Mediterranean. In Northern Europe, appears from early June, becoming abundant in July and flying into November. One of the last dragonflies to be encountered in autumn.\nDistribution: Common in most of our area, becoming less common relative to S. vulgatum in a north-easterly direction. Extends to Japan. Migrations are often seen and are sometimes massive.\n\nThis is a common Species in the Netherlands.$

This impressive macro image captures a close-up of a dragonfly's head, which is gracefully turned to the right, with a slight tilt of the head to the left. Her huge, glittering eyes, like unearthly jewels, radiate a living energy, foreshadowing the hunt. A small gap between the jaws shows sharp teeth, comparable to needles, which gives it an additional mystery and danger.

Louisville, CO USA . Aug 4, 2022: A Damselfly is seen in close up detail. This image provides a close up look at the common Damselfly. Dragonflies and Damselflies both come from the same order -Odonata but dragonflies come from the suborder Epiprocta and damselflies are from Zygoptera. Zygoptera is derived from the Ancient Greek word for “equal wing”.

Dragonfly eating insect - animal behavior.

Both sexes of the Four-spotted chaser are golden-brown, getting darker towards the tip of the body, and with yellow spots along the sides. Two dark spots at the front edge of each wing give this dragonfly its name and an easily recognisable appearance.

A dragonfly is an insect belonging to the order Odonata, infraorder Anisoptera. Adult dragonflies are characterized by large, multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong, transparent wings, sometimes with coloured patches, and an elongated body.

$Dragonflies and damselflies are not just mesmerizing aerial acrobats; they play a crucial role in maintaining ecological sustainability. As natural predators, they help control mosquito and pest populations, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. Their presence also indicates clean water and healthy ecosystems, making them vital indicators of environmental health. Protecting their habitats supports biodiversity and promotes sustainable ecosystems.\nLocation: Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh (India)$
