odonut's Identifications

Commonly found in aquatic habitats such as wetlands, marshes, ponds and lakes.
Closely related to damselfly but are bulkier.
Dragonflies usually hold their wings horizontally (sideways from their body) whereas damselflies hold their wings vertically (upwards from the body).
Ecological role: They are predatory insects and eat smaller insects like mosquitoes, butterflies, moths etc.
Due to habitat destruction and loss of wetlands, these creatures are decreasing in number.
