Kereng'ende (mdudu)

Kereng'ende ni wadudu wakubwa wa oda Odonata (odontos = -enye meno) wenye mabawa makubwa maangavu. Kwa asili jina hili limetumika kwa spishi nyekundu. Lakini kwa sababu hakuna jina jingine kwa wadudu hawa, inapendekezwa kutumia jina hili kwa spishi zote za Odonata.

Kereng'ende ni wadudu mbuai ambao huwinda wadudu wengine. Kwa sababu ya hiyo macho yao ni makubwa. Wanaweza kuruka nyepesi sana na kuzingazinga, lakini wanaweza kuangama angani pia.
