dragonfly(suborder Anisoptera) also called darner, devil’s
arrow, or devil’s darning needle,any of a group of aerial,
predatory insects most commonly found near freshwater habitats
throughout most of the world. Damselflies (suborder Zygoptera)
are sometimes also called dragonflies in that both are
odonates—members of the odonates (order Odonata). The 2,500
dragonfly species (Anisoptera) are characterized by long bodies
with two narrow pairs of intricately veined, membranous wings
that, while generally transparent, may have coloured markings.
Unlike damselflies, the front and rear wing pairs are shaped
differently. In addition, and dragonflies rest with their wings
spread horizontally, rather than held vertically against each
other (with the exception of one very small family,
Epiophlebiidae). Dragonflies have a more powerful build and are
generally much stronger fliers than damselflies. Dragonflies
have huge, bulging eyes that occupy most of the head, giving
some a field of vision approaching 360 degrees.  Th
