Dragonflies do not live for only 24 hours. Dragonflies actually live for at least several months in a larval stage in ponds, and then emerge into adulthood as dragonflies which fly around. In this adult stage, dragonflies live for anywhere between a few days to several months and prey on other flying insects and look for a mate.

∙ 11y agoDragonflies live for several moths, depending on the temperature. If it's too cold, they will only live for 'several' weeks, though.
Besides that, they are food for other animals (birds, reptiles, amphibians, etc.) and feed on other insects, including mosquitoes and horse flies.

∙ 14y agoThat's like asking, why is a humans lifespan average 75 years?
However, I can tell you that most of the time larger creatures have longer lifespans, ie
Cat - 20 years
Mouse - 2 years
Pet fish around 3cm in length - 1 year
Amoeba - 1-2 days
