Dragonflies have extremely good vision, which they use to locate and catch small insects in flight. Like most insects, they have compound eyes. In the case of dragonflies the eyes contain several thousand individual facets, each containing a tiny lens.
Larval development typically takes one or two years, but ranges from 2–3 months (emerald damselflies) to more than five years (Golden-ringed Dragonfly). Development takes longer in cooler waters where food is scarcer, whilst in warm waters there may be a new generation every year.

Dragonflies are flat-out terrifying if you're a gnat, mosquito, or other small bug. They don't simply chase down their prey; they snag them from the air with calculated aerial ambushes. Dragonflies can judge the speed and trajectory of a prey target and adjust their flight to intercept prey. They're so skilled they have up to a 97% success rate whe...
Dragonflies and damselflies belong to the order Odonata, meaning "toothed ones," a nod to their serrated mandibles. When hunting, dragonflies catch prey with their feet, tear off the prey's wings with their sharp jaws so it can't escape, then scarf the sorry bug down, all without even needing to land. Thankfully, most dragonflies can't bite humans....
Few species in the animal kingdom can compare to the dragonfly's spectacular flying ability. The insects have two sets of wings with muscles in the thorax that can work each wing independently. This allows them to change the angle of each wing and practice superior agility in the air. Dragonflies can fly in any direction, including sideways and bac...
If you look at a dragonfly's head, you might notice one thing in particular—or, rather, 30,000 things in particular. The area of an odonate's head is composed primarily of its enormous compound eyes, which contain 30,000 facets, each bringing in information about the insect's surroundings. Dragonflies have nearly 360-degree vision, with just one bl...
Dragonflies lay their eggs in water, and when the larvae hatch, they live underwater for up to two years. Actually, depending on the altitude and latitude, some species may stay in the larval state for up to six years.They'll molt up to 17 times before surfacing and transforming into the dragonflies we see in the air. They are specially adapted for...
Relatively few insects inhabit the ocean, perhaps because they have trouble surviving in saltwater. That doesn't seem to bother some dragonflies, however. Certain species, like the seaside dragonlet (Erythrodiplax berenicei) can even produce offspring in environments saltier than typical seawater. The seaside dragonlet is a standout species because...
Dragonflies help humans by controlling populations of pest insects, especially those that threaten us most, such as mosquitoes and biting flies. A single dragonfly can eat anywhere between 30 and hundreds of mosquitoes per day. Dragonflies also inspire us to create new technology—from drones to artificial visual systems—because of their incredible ...
Dragonflies need protection from the dangers humans have created, from pollution to habitat loss, and sanctuaries help with this. The U.K. got its first dragonfly sanctuary, the Dragonfly Center, in 2009. U.S.-based dragonfly enthusiasts can also admire them at the Dragonfly Sanctuary Pondin Albuquerque, New Mexico. This is the first sanctuary pond...
I was incorrectly told it was the most recent eyes that override the others, so I fast tracked Varre's quest assuming the dragon eyes would override them later, now to discover they do not. I am playing a Dragon Themed Knight and I have to choose between ugly blood eyes or a generic eye color.
