∙ 14y agoWhile young, dragonflies spend their lives underwater as nymphs. These gradually grow and develop wingbuds before climbing out of the water and undergoing a final moult to become the winged insect. The nymphs are one to two inches long, have six legs, large eyes and a hinged jaw which they can shoot out to catch their animal prey. They are able to walk on the bottom but are also able to move rapidly by a form of water jet propulsion.
