Hi all this time I don't wanna share about any dragon creatures animation or some dragon movie and film but this time I wanna tell about Dragonfly. Here is

A dragonfly is an insect belonging to the order Odonata, the suborder Epiprocta or, in the strict sense, the infraorder Anisoptera. It is characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong transparent wings, and an elongated body. Dragonflies are similar to damselflies, but the adults can be differentiated by the fact that the wings of most dragonflies are held away from, and perpendicular to, the body when at rest. Dragonflies possess six legs (like any other insect), but most of them cannot walk well. Dragonflies are one of the fastest insects in world, flying 35 to 60 mph (56 to 96 km/h), with Green Darner dragonfly, as fastest of species.

Dragonflies are valuable predators that eat mosquitoes, and other small insects like flies, bees, ants, and very rarely butterflies. They are usually found around lakes, ponds, streams and wetlands because their larvae, known as "nymphs", are aquatic.

When I was child I used to looking for any Dragonflies in the public garden and free wide field in my village, I like looking for them with my friends and brothers, The Dragonfly which I want to catch is Damarwulan Dragonfly and Orange Dragonfly, Damarwulan (name of princess of Javanese kingdom) Dragonfly is the most beautiful Dragonfly that most childern want to have it. there is much Ginjeng (Dragonfly) names when I was child such as Ginjeng Jeruk, Ginjeng Dom ginjeng biasa, ginjeng biru, ginjeng setan ginjeng Damarwulan and more.

So you like Dragonfly? I think you like it. So these are some beautiful pictures of Dragonfly and I hope it will be useful for you, thanks.

Dragonflies and damselflies

Damselflies (suborder Zygoptera) are often confused with newly moulted dragonflies but once a dragonfly moults, it is fully grown. There are other distinctions that set them apart: most damselflies hold their wings at rest together above the torso or held slightly open above (such as in the family Lestidae), whereas most dragonflies at rest hold their wings perpendicular to their body, horizontally or occasionally slightly down and forward. Also, the back wing of the dragonfly broadens near the base, caudal to the connecting point at the body, while the back wing of the damselfly is similar to the front wing. The eyes on a damselfly are apart; in most dragonflies the eyes touch. Notable exceptions are the Petaluridae (Petaltails) and the Gomphidae (Clubtails).
