Female dragonflies typically lay their eggs in or near water, as their larvae, known as nymphs, are aquatic. They may deposit eggs directly on the surface of the water, in vegetation, or even in mud or sand at the water's edge, depending on the species. Some species also lay eggs in floating plants or among submerged vegetation to provide some protection for the eggs. The choice of location helps ensure that the developing nymphs have access to the aquatic environment they need for survival.
