Dragonflies have several natural predators, including birds, frogs, and larger insects such as Spiders. Birds, particularly those that forage near water bodies, often catch dragonflies in mid-flight. Additionally, some fish and amphibians can also prey on dragonfly nymphs while they are in the water. These predators are part of the ecological balance, helping to control dragonfly populations.
It is both predator and prey. Dragonflies eat other flying insects bu can fall prey to larger animals such as birds.

Several birds prey on dragonflies. Frogs, herons, and ducks eat dragonfly nymphs. Several parasites attack dragonflies.
No. Dragonflies only go after live prey.
Thinking that snakes are very clever and agile creatures with a wide variety of prey, I am positive that snakes doeat dragonflies. Some species of water snakes such as ribbon and queen snakes prey on dragonflies.
Dragonflies eat their prey alive. In fact, they catch it out of midair.
Dragonflies and maybe bats prey on the mosquito.
There are literally millions of insect species. Some are herbivores, like caterpillars and aphids, and some are carnivores, like wasps and dragonflies. Some are prey to others. And even carnivorous insects may be prey to birds, so they can be predator and prey at the same time too.
Dragonflies scoop up their prey with their legs and rip of peices small enough to chew.
Animals are the prey of other animals/predators.
Frogs and Spiders
they prey on polar animals
