Insects of the order Odonata tend to fly around water bodies. Dragonflies and damselflies are colorful and fairly large as far as insects are concerned. Both the nymphs and the adults are predaceous on tinier insects that live around the water. These insects have two pairs of wings that flap independently of one another very rapidly when flying. |
