Dragonflies and Damselflies

Rolf Kokkonens Photogallery

Dragonflies are large predator insects.
Hind wings are usually shorter and broader than forewings. They are usually large, strongly flying insects that can often be found flying well away from water. When at rest, they hold their wings out from the body, often at right angles to it. The eyes are very large and usually touch, at least at a point.
Dragonflies are the world's fastest insects and, although estimates of their speed vary wildly, most credible authorities say they are capable of reaching speeds of between 30 and 60 km/h. A study showed that dragonflies can travel as much as 137 km in one day.
