Flying over and near the water you'll find these beautifully colored insects. Out of the 5,000 species of dragonflies living on Earth, their site of living ranges from the tropics to the desert. They fly at night, waiting for their prey. When the time is right, they swoop down and steal the spiders from their webs.
