Odonata is the name of the order of dragonflies. It merges as members insects of the Anisoptera suborder of dragonflies and the Zygoptera suborder of damselflies. The name of the order traces its origins back to the ancient Greek οδόντoÏ‚ (οδοÏÏ‚, odontos) for "tooth" even though damselflies and dragonflies are not unique in claiming toothed mandibles.
