How many mosqiutoes does a dragonfly eat each day?
Information on how much dragonflies eat per day is vague and somewhat varied, but overall, most sources agree that dragonflies eat a huge amount of insects per day. Some sources claim that it can eat 6 or 10 times its body weight per day, others say it can eat its body weight in a half an hour, 20% of its body weight just enough to keep it flying for an hour, or 30% of its body weight per day. Yet others say that dragonflies can eat around 600 insects per day.
Whatever the information, dragonflies certainly need to eat constantly to keep their energy reserves filled so they can keep flying and catch more insects, including mosquitoes, midges, flies and other insects.

Only Dragonfly Nymphs turn into Dragonflies.

What is the largest dragonfly .?
Dragonflies (Order Odonata) definitely live more than 24 hours. Although the adults are relatively short-lived (usually no more than four weeks), the aquatic immatures (naiads) may live for up to three years before molting to the adult stage. Your friend may be mistaking them for mayflies (Order Ephemeroptera), in which the adults of some species do not live more than a day or so. Well, I don't know if I'm really improving his/her answer but drogaonflies live for a very little time. They are very weak and fragile, and even though they're tiny they could be pretty noticable by their predators.

Where are the spiracles located on a dragonfly?
Spiracles are used by grasshoppers for respiration. Air is taken in throught the spiracles and filtered by hairs in tubes called tracheae. The trachea branch out through the body eventually ending in Tracheoles where the oxygen is distributed to cells and carbon dioxide is taken out and back throught the trachea and exits the body through the spiracles
Dragonflies primarily drink water by sipping it from the surface of ponds, lakes, or streams. They also consume nectar from flowers, which provides them with energy. Additionally, dragonflies can absorb moisture from the air, especially when they are in humid environments. Their diet mainly consists of smaller insects, which they catch in flight, but they do not drink in the conventional sense like many other animals.
