Damselfly larvae eat worms and small Gambuzia (small fish).
Yes, they do. They pretty much eat anything that moves in the pond or stream, including critters up to their own size.

Damselfly nymphs are a younger version of the damselfly insect. However, things like fish, beetles, and even larger damselflies eat damselfly nymphs.

The Damselfly nymph feeds on small minnows and invertebrates as well as grass and tadpoles. Most nymphs eat minnows or tadpoles.

No, a damselfly nymph is not a decomposer. Instead, it is a carnivorous aquatic insect that primarily preys on smaller organisms like mosquito larvae and other small invertebrates. Decomposers, such as fungi and certain bacteria, break down dead organic matter, while damselfly nymphs are part of the food web as predators.
No, a damselfly is not a primary consumer; it is a carnivorous insect that primarily feeds on smaller insects, making it a secondary consumer. Primary consumers are typically herbivores that feed on plants or algae. In aquatic ecosystems, damselfly larvae may consume small invertebrates, further emphasizing their role as predators rather than primary consumers.
No, but they feed on tears, and the blood of the innocent.
A damselfly nymph is a consumer, specifically a carnivorous consumer, as it feeds on other aquatic organisms like small insects and larvae. It is not a producer, as it does not perform photosynthesis, and it is not a decomposer, as it does not break down dead organic matter. Instead, damselfly nymphs play a role in the food web by helping to control populations of their prey.
Fish eggs are not eaten by dragonfly larvae. Dragonfly larvae eat small fish, very small fish and tadpoles. They do not eat fish larvae. A lot of fish eat the larvae out of there own nests.
Foxes can eat larvae, but only if they are starving. They will usually go for larger rodents and mammals.
