How long does it take a dragonfly nymph to split its skin and turn into a dragonfly?

A dragonfly nymph can take several weeks to several years depending on the species to reach adulthood. The dragonfly nymph will molt several times as it grows.

What is the lifecycle of a dragonfly?
Dragonflies (and damselflies) pass through what's known as incomplete metamorphosis (IM). However, because they go from aquatic to aerial, the transformation is one of the more dramatic in the IM insects. As the larva (or naiad) passes through roughly 10-12 stages as it grows, it slowly develops wing buds. During the phase just before adult emergence, the specialized labium (kind of an extensible arm that can shoot out from under the head to grasp prey) tissues recede into the adult form. When the time comes to split the larval skin and emerge as an adult, the naiad will climb out of the water onto reed, rocks etc. Once the emergence has occurred, the adult slowly expands its wings and hardens its new skin (exoskeleton) before the first flight. The old larval skin will remain at the emergence site until it is blown or knocked from its base.

Do dragonflies hibernate?
Only a few species of dragonfly do hibernate as adults. The winter damsels hibernate in heathland and will start reproducing as soon as nice weather sets in at march or april. Other dragonfly will be present as eggs (Spreadwings) or in nymph stages. The eggs are sometimes in plants along the side of the water, even tree branches (Western Willow Spreadwing). The Spreadwings have an apparatus to drill holes in plants to put there eggs there. Most dragonflies lay eggs in the water or just at the shore mostly hidden in the vegetation. Soon a nymph emerges and it lives as an aquatic predator until the next year mostly. The nymphs crawl out of the water and in most cases climb in reeds where they attach themselves with crossed feet. They emerge from their last nymph skin and pump up their wings and abdomen with air.
