Dragonfly

The dragonfly is scientifically called Odonata. It resides in every continent except antarctica and is found in freshwater ecosystems. They lay eggs in water which hatch into wingless naiads. They are a predator to mosquitos and aren't usually the prey, even as babies. Odonata have been around since the dinosaurs, used to have meter long wingspans, and have special extending mouths.
