No, they're another order entirely. Dragonflies are part of order Odonata, lacewings are Neuroptera. Dragonflies have incomplete metamorphosis with a nymph and no pupa, lacewings have a larva and pupa stage. ^^

What is another animal in the same genus as a dragon fly?
Odonata is an order of insects, encompassing dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera)
Are dragonflies and damselflies related?
House flies are from the taxonomical order Diptera, meaning two-winged, whereas the four-winged dragonflies and damselflies are from the order Odanata, so the two would not be considered closely related. Also, the dragonflies are predators and have mouth parts adapted for preying on other insects. House flies are not able to do this.There are many other differences despite the fact the two-winged flies are considered by some to have evolved from the four-winged variety.
What country does the dragonfly represent?
Japan is the country that the dragonfly represents. The word for dragonfly serves as a homophone whose sound is the same as the word for "victory" in Japanese. The insect in question (Odonata order of damselflies and dragonflies) will call to mind autumn, samurai and summer in the Japanese archipelago.
How are horses and dragonflies alike?
Same vision?
Why do dragonflies migrate?
Dragon flies swarm due to abundant supply of food in the area. They also swarm to mate. This is less likely because males are more aggressive around other males during mating.
Do dragonflies commonly travel in large groups?
no, they often tend to hang out in the same place but split up when they leave.
Do dragonflies really mean life after death?
yes and no in the same way they r messengers from the passed away or from god but they r there for a reason.
Is there anywhere turtles gorillas and dragonflies can be at the same time?
The Painted Turtle. The Mountain Gorilla. The Black Eyed Dragonfly. In The African Jungle.
Is the mosquito hawk the same as snake doctor?
According to my grandma Sadie (born & raised in Florida) they are the same thing. Well, they can be. "Mosquito hawk" is what we call a "common name", or an "informal name"; it is what people call any particular animal or plant in a particular place or time. It need not be correct, for example a mosquito is not a hawk and not a mosquito and it means different things in different places, and in a lot of places it means nothing at all because lots of people don't use the name. Common names are useful because they enable people in a particular place to talk about animals and plants and more or less understand each other most of the time, but they also are confusing because most animals and plants have no common names at all, most those that do have common names have more than one even in the same language, some in different places. Most common names also apply to more than one animal or plant. And a lot of common names have wrong meanings. "Formal" or "scientific" names may be a bit harder to use in many ways, but they do better than common names in some of those ways. For example, in some places a mosquito hawk is a Crane fly (also called a "daddy long legs". See what I mean about common names?). A crane fly is not a mosquito (though it , not a hawk, and doesn't hawk mosquitoes. It is a member of the fly Family Tipulidae, and that is a name that an insect scientist (entomologist) will recognise in any language in any place in the world. In some places a mosquito hawk is indeed a dragonfly as grandma Sadie rightly said. It also is neither a mosquito nor a hawk, but it does catch mosquitoes in the air; it "hawks" them all right. In some places a mosquito hawk is a damselfly. Damselflies are very closely related to dragonflies, and like dragonflies, damselflies are neither hawks nor mosquitoes, but do hawk mosquitoes. Most people who call dragonflies mosquito hawks also call damselflies mosquito hawks. Both are in the order Odonata, and again, an entomologist in any country should know the name Odonata, and what it means. Crane flies are in the order Diptera and therefore are practically unrelated to dragonflies and damselflies.
What is an analogous structure?
You can say that they provide the same function for the organism, but their origin i different. For example, bats, birds and dragonflies all have wings, but bone placement isn't present in dragonflies as it is in birds and bats. They all let them fly, but they evolved into that form in different ways. It's two structures (or more) that perform the same function but evolved separately.
Is family medicine the same as family physician?
