Yes, dragonflies are diurnal, although some are more active in the morning/evening, and some are more active during the middle of the day.
Hi! These aren't ALL the 5700 types, but heres a few: Common darter, Club tail, Emperor, Orange spotted emerald (which is now extinct) Kneeled skimmer, and Flat bodied darter
If you would like to find types of dragonflies type in infraorder Anisoptera in google if you would like to see them look at the images tab. you can also find them in order odanata but this will include the damselflies so dont confuse the two damselflies are smaller with different shapes of the wings and body.
they eat other insects that eat and kill peoples gardens and are food for bigger animals
No. Dragonflies loose the ability to go underwater.
Dragonflies cannot walk on water, but they can hover right above it. They can be seen doing this when the female deposits her eggs in water. It will look like she is walking on it but is actually hovering.
I only know of where I live, so I can answer that they DO live in Florida (USA) -- But I do not know all countries as to where they are native.
Dragonflies usually do not travel in "packs". However, they're normally close to another few. Dragonflies only live for 24hrs so it they don't exactly have enough time to make a lasting impression on their fellow dragonflies.
a dragon fly nymph is a predator that feeds on most equatic insects. they adapt there body so they can live in the environment they make hanges like a a black moth they hide on black trees but if it was a white moth they wouldn't suvive because they will stand out from the black trees they need to adapt to there environment and turn black. a dragon fly nymph is a predator that feeds on most equatic insects. they adapt there body so they can live in the environment they make hanges like a a black moth they hide on black trees but if it was a white moth they wouldn't suvive because they will stand out from the black trees they need to adapt to there environment and turn black. the dragongly nymph has large eyes positioned on the top of its head in order to provide a broader view of it's surroundings, to allow easy hunting as well as a clear view of predators. The Dragonfly Nymph has internal gills.
you can find a dragonfly about at noon or in the morning. best when the rain has just stopped.
Myriapoda, which are animals like centipedes and millipedes, usually have more than eight legs. Squid have four pairs of arms and then on pair of tentacles that are not arms. Jellyfish also have a multitude of tentacles.
I think they swim at night and fly a lot that is what I think that is why am asking this
It belongs to the insect class i think. IDK. Who plays MWF2? if u do u rock
Some dragonflies lay their eggs in plants, usually in or beside water. They inject the eggs into the plant or make a little slit in the plant and put the eggs in there. Other dragonflies scatter their eggs on open water in ponds and rivers.
Dragonflies (and damselflies) pass through what's known as incomplete metamorphosis (IM). However, because they go from aquatic to aerial, the transformation is one of the more dramatic in the IM insects.
As the larva (or naiad) passes through roughly 10-12 stages as it grows, it slowly develops wing buds. During the phase just before adult emergence, the specialized labium (kind of an extensible arm that can shoot out from under the head to grasp prey) tissues recede into the adult form.
When the time comes to split the larval skin and emerge as an adult, the naiad will climb out of the water onto reed, rocks etc. Once the emergence has occurred, the adult slowly expands its wings and hardens its new skin (exoskeleton) before the first flight. The old larval skin will remain at the emergence site until it is blown or knocked from its base.
Adult dragonflies die of old age as winter approaches, but nymphs from spring, summer and fall laid eggs are still maturing underwater.
Yes they do. The adults are 8-12 mm long. Their thorax is gray, with four longitudinal dark lines on the back. The whole body is covered with hair-like projections. The females are slightly larger than the males, and have a much larger space between their red compound eyes.
