Dragonflies have been around for 300 million years, with several extinct species having wingspans of over two feet. Inhabiting sites around lakes, ponds, streams, and wetlands, they are excellent predators, eating mosquitoes and other small insects. Examine the habitats that support dragonflies, as well as their lifecycles, foraging behaviors, and reproductive strategies.
