What bug looks like a dragonfly and bumble bee?
The large bee you are describing is not a bee at all, it is a female Broad-bodied Chaser (a dragonfly). Females start off a very bright yellow color when they are born, and gradually become darker as age. Males also start off yellow, becoming pale blue once mature.
How do you take care of a dragonfly?
Taking care of a dragonfly is difficult because it is a non-domesticated predator. It eats live food that it catches and kills for itself. However, if you have a dragonfly you cannot release into the wild for some reason, and you don't want it to die, you may be able to give it adequate food and water by placing it in the HUGEST terrarium you possibly can. Set the aquarium up rather as you would for a pet frog, with plants, earth, standing water, and adequate warmth. Put living mosquito larvae in the water (dragonflies really like to eat baby mosquitoes). If you can't find any, and your pet store doesn't have any for sale, ask the pet store staff to recommend a good substitute--they have to know how to feed many weird types of animals. Place the dragonfly in the terrarium and COVER the terrarium securely and tightly with a screen. Remember, the dragonfly won't kill all the mosquito larvae, and you don't want mosquitoes loose in the house.
What is dragonfly larvae called?
naiad is a Dragonfly Nymph.
The nymph (plural) of dragonflies and mayflies is "naiades"
A dragonfly is referred to as a nymph rather than larva in its immature stage of life because it is a hemimetabolous insect, going through incomplete metamorphosis, not complete.
I did some research on the subject; it's a spin on the butterfly effect by Lorenz theoretically. It emphasizes a dualistic relationship shared from "wing-to-wing" during flight. New trends in Chaos include sound analysis and interpretations; this new theory is a definite evolution beyond butterflies, and here's why: for E. Lorenz to invent the Lorenz Attractor he had to find the oscillation and match equations; yet now that sound influences nature notably, AND knowing that every sound possesses its own unique oscillation inherently, no mathematics are absolutely necessary to understand this theory(the dragonfly in nature fulfills a medical role; this is important to understand).
What are dragonflies favorite food?
Dragonflies mainly eat other insects. Smaller dragonfly nymphs eat aquatic insects and tadpoles and possibly even smaller fish if they're larger. Adult dragonflies eat gnats, mayflies, flies, mosquitoes and other small flying insects. Occasionally they will also eat moths, bees, and butterflies.
Is fireflies and dragonflies the same?
Well, darling, fireflies and dragonflies may both be flies, but they're as different as night and day. Fireflies are those little glow-in-the-dark cuties that light up the night, while dragonflies are the fancy flyers with big ol' wings. So, nope, they ain't the same, but they both know how to steal the show in their own way.
No. Bees are Eukaryotes, because they have more than one cell to make it an organism. Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms.
Sorry i don't know in 2010 but about 300,000,000 years ago they are over 70cm. Gavin C
What is the average lifespan of dragonfly?
Dragonflies can remain as larvae for three to five years before metamorphosing into an adult. Adults typically live for two to four weeks. See the Related Links for more information on dragonflies.
The average size of a dragonfly is from 1 to 4 inches in length
What is the dragonflies defense or protection?
yes dragonflies do have defense their best defense is to fly away an other one is where they squirt water with abdomen and swim away yes dragonflies do have defense their best defense is to fly away an other one is where they squirt water with abdomen and swim away
it depends on the caterpillar. I have the caterpillar that makes those giant webs on trees.But I only have one so he can't do much but he can't pee. but he can POOP!
Yes, Dragonflies are insects. They have six legs and are one of the fastest insects in the world.
How are dragonflies similar to other insects?
They were both have wings.
They both can fly.
They both eat leaves.................
Thanks
:d
Both from Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Arthropoda, and Class Insecta,
Does a dragonfly have a life cycle?
From the larva eggs to a nymph, then to an adult, they then restart the life cycle by laying eggs.
Do the color of dragonflies have different meanings?
Dragonflies come in several different colors, but the individual in each species are normally all the same color. You would need to see a variety of dragonflies to see the differences.
Also, not only do dragonflies come in different colors, they also go in different colors, but generally in the same color they came in! (With the exception of those iridescent ones whose skin reflects light with different rainbow colors depending on the angle of the light!) ________________ Because of the reflective and iridescent nature of these insects it's difficult to speak of and define their colours. They certainly do come in different colours, and are simply beautiful in their variety. ________________
Dragonfly can grow legs back, however only when all of their legs are gone.
