not 2-3 weeks thats for sure, up to 4 years for some species.

Well it starts as a nymph , like a caterpillar cant fly but live in pond/water, then into dragonfly then back into nymph to lay eggs, i dunno how long live... maybe 3 years? no idea really could be 3 months for all i know
Technically speaking no, a baby dragon fly would be a nymph and they live underwater. The nymph metamorphoses into a dragonfly after leaving the water.
in paco land
Mayfly Nymphs live under stones in fast-flowing water or among plants in slow streams. Some species live in small burrows at the bottom of the stream. Some are flat and cling to the bottom of rocks in fast-flowing streams. They are mostly found in cool, more permanent water bodies like streams and lakes.
Yes, adult female dragonflies lay their eggs in or near water but live on land.
No, a dragonfly undergoes incomplete metamorphosis, also known as hemimetabolism. This process includes three stages: egg, nymph, and adult. Dragonfly nymphs live in water and undergo several molts before emerging as adults, which have wings and are fully formed. Incomplete metamorphosis differs from complete metamorphosis, which includes a pupal stage.
While in the water, dragonfly nymphs breathe through complicated gills inside the end of their bodies. Water is pumped in and out of the gills, to bring in oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide (this also helps to propel the animal forward). Damselfly nymphs breath through 3 feathery gills which grow out the back of their tails.
some live under water for a year, others up to 2 or 3 years!
The adults do not live in the water but the larvas do develop here. Thats why you will find dragonflies near the egde of water.
they live in shallow ans water up to a yard long in creeks, dams, trails ,and streams
they can live in both land and water
