Fun Fact about Dragonflies:
- In their larval stage, which can last up to two years, dragonflies are aquatic and eat just about anything—tadpoles, mosquitoes, fish, other insect larvae and even each other.
- Dragonflies are expert fliers. They can fly straight up and down, hover like a helicopter and even mate mid-air. If they can’t fly, they’ll starve because they only eat prey they catch while flying.
- The average cruising speed of a large dragonfly species is around 9.9 miles per hour.
- A dragonfly will spend much of its life as a nymph (larva) in the water.
- Having a dragonfly land on your head is considered good luck.
