It is true that dragonflies are freshwater creatures for the larval part of their life cycle.
Dragonflies are among the most striking animals in the insect kingdom.
Frequently found patrolling the banks of ponds and lakes, dragonflies are astonishingly beautiful creatures. Dragonflies have survived for hundreds of millions of years with relatively little change. Along with grasshoppers, cockroaches, and crickets, dragonflies have been on the planet since long before the dinosaurs. Fossil evidence tells us that some of the ancestors of this creature were the size of crows, measuring 2 feet from wing tip to wing tip. The photo is from The Texas Agricultural Experiment Station.
