Dragonflies go back to the time of the dinosaurs. Today there are about 4,500 species.
Dragonflies are predatory insects which means they fly around eating other insects.
They fly with their bright captivating colors snatching bugs. To catch them they go at 60 mph. They use very strong jaws to eat them. Then they hatch into a nymph. Nymphs live in the water and eat small fish.
