Description
• A dragonfly is an insect belonging to the order ‘Odonata ’.
Dragonflies are sometimes confused with Damselflies.
Even though they are both members of the same order, they
have slight differences whereby when resting, damselflies
hold their wings together, a dragonfly holds its wings
horizontally or slightly down and forward and their hind
wings are broader near the base.
The eyes on a damselfly are separated, in most dragonflies
the eyes touch. However, being in the same order makes
their life cycles quite similar. The Dragonfly name comes from
their fierce jaws, which they use to catch their prey.
The body parts
Dragonflies are not actually a fly even though they both
have six legs and three body parts, head, thorax and
abdomen. The main difference between them is that flies
only have two wings whereas dragonflies have four wings
delicate, membranous wings which are transparent and
some have light yellow colouring near the tipsA Dragonfly
has two large compound eyes which take up most of its
head. Dragonflies have long, . Their bodies are long and
slender and they have a short antennae.
Dragonflies are very colourful, for example the Green
Darner Dragonfly has a green thorax and a blue
segmented abdomen. Some are red like the Comet Darner
and yellow like the Emerald Darner.
Dragonflies breath through spiracles which are tiny holes
located on their abdomen. They can beat each pair of
wings together or separately and their rear wings can be
out of phase with the front wings. Their wing beat is
around 50 – 90 beats per second.
Dragonflies have complicated neck muscles which allow
them to tilt their head sideways 180 degrees, back 70
degrees and down 40 degrees.
Dragonflies can hover in mid air and then rapidly
accelerate. Traveling at almost 30 miles per hour,
dragonflies are the fastest insects in the UK.
Diet and Vision
• One of Nature’s most intriguing and fascinating insects,
and the subject of mankind’s most sublime and
ridiculous myths and mythologies, the dragonfly darts
around going about its business as usual, blissfully
unaware and oblivious to the interest it has generated
in us. And perhaps thankfully for us because if the
dragonfly were to understand that we have called it the
“Devils darning needle” and “gwas-y-neidr” or the
Adder’s Servant, it could laugh long and hard at
us…and considering the dragonfly has been around for
over 300 million years, it could be a really, really long
laugh
