only half their life
Yes. They do spend most of their life underwater as nympths.
No. Dragonflies loose the ability to go underwater.
Adult dragonflies die of old age as winter approaches, but nymphs from spring, summer and fall laid eggs are still maturing underwater.
Yes, they do for 2 to 3 weeks!
Dragonflies are typically born in the spring and summer. Their life cycle begins when eggs are laid in water, usually in late spring or early summer, depending on the species and environmental conditions. The larvae, known as nymphs, develop underwater before emerging as adult dragonflies later in the warm months. This timing aligns with optimal temperatures and abundant prey availability.
Dragonflies lived in the Mesozoic era. Mesozoic means middle life.
UNDERWATER!!
part of their life
Technically speaking no, a baby dragon fly would be a nymph and they live underwater. The nymph metamorphoses into a dragonfly after leaving the water.
Yes, dragonflies have a life cycle that consists of three main stages: egg, nymph, and adult. The female lays eggs in or near water, which hatch into nymphs that live underwater and undergo several molts. After a period of growth, the nymphs emerge from the water, undergo metamorphosis, and transform into adult dragonflies. This process can take several months to years, depending on the species and environmental conditions.
The dragonflies mate while flying in the air. They do not only mate with one female partner during their lifespan.
