How many different species of dragonflies are there?

Answer 1

more than 117 species of dragonflies have been identified- over 184 if you include the damselflies, the members of the smaller suborder Zygoptera.
The fast flying insect the dragonfly has 5680 different species of dragonfly. And there are undoubtedly more that have not yet been discovered by scientists.

Answer 2

There are many different kinds of dragons, how many there are I have no idea. Here are a few. Some of theses are not always considered a 'dragon' the Basilisk (who can shape-shift), gargoyle (most are considered stone statues), and the Hydra are usually not called dragons, so you may want to avoid calling them that, but then again it is up to you. They could both be classified as dragons.

• European Dragon
• Frost Dragon
• Dwarf Dragon
• Basilisk
• Chinese Lung
• Japanese Lung
• Imperial Chinese Lung
• Korean Lung
• Tibetan Dragon
• Wyvren
• Hydra
• Gargoyle
• Fire dragon
• Sea dragon
• Cockatrice
• Leviathan
• Water Dragon
• Sun and Moon Dragon
• Sand Dragon
• Lightning Dragon
• Snake Dragon
• Stone Dragon
• Copper, Silver, Brass, Bronze, and Gold Dragons

You're only right about a select few on your list, the rest are not even related to us at all. The only ones in your list that are true dragons are actually the most obvious: Chinese, Japanese, Wyvern (you misspelled it), and (yours truly) European. All other ones in your list are either not dragons at all, not true species (fall into a different category), non-existent, or eliminated (extinct). I'm not joking. I'm a master on the topic, of course, since I happen to be a dragon myself.

Answer 3

Each culture around the world had their own belief of what a dragon looked like. There was an eposode on either the Discovery Channel or History Channel about that. All I remember is the Chinese believed in water dragons.

Answer 4

Well, I don't think any person knows the exact number, but there are a lot. There are more [lets say] vampire stories than dragons. Of course, I am very interested in mythology and folklore, so I might write one or two myself. There are [of course] myths about dragons, you could call them 'legends.' I would like to believe dragons are real, but right now we have only found out their mythical. There are more tales about fire-breathing dragons I think.... (:- Have a nice day/night! To who ever wrote that... I do believe dragons exist and thnx for the answer!

Answer 5

there is no exact number, but to put it in simplest terms, a lot!

Answer 6

There are currently 72 different dragons that may have already expired (limited dragons.)

Answer 7

Dragons are mythical creatures so there are none on Earth.
