Yes. Dragonfly nymphs are aquatic.
Insect nymphs are immature insects who turn into adults by stages, called instars, in contrast to insects with grub-like larvae who pupate such as mosquitos or butterflies. Aquatically this usually refers to dragonflies, damselflies, mayflies, and stoneflies while grasshoppers are a good example of a terrestrial species with nymphs. All the aforementioned aquatic nymphs mainly breathe through gills, though the location on the body can vary.
