ragonflies have
been around
since before the
dinosaurs! In fact,
dragonflies were
flying across the
landscape about one
hundred million years
before dinosaurs
walked the earth.
And, they were BIG
bugs. Prehistoric
dragonfly wings
measured nearly three
feet across! Scientists
claim these were the
largest insects that the
world has ever seen.

Dragonflies are still some of the world’s largest
flying insects. They have wingspans measuring 1 to
5 inches. There are more than 4,000 kinds or species.
Many are colored like
jewels. Their shiny colored
bodies and wings reflect
the sunlight, making them a
delight to watch in flight.
McCALL TIRE CENTER
Dragonflies knew about fast food long before humans did. While
flying, the dragonfly positions its legs and the bristly spines
growing on the legs to form a basket scoop. It collects mosquitoes
and other bugs in this bristly basket and then munches its catch, all
while still airborne!— The dragonfly’s approach to dinner is like
picking up and wolfing down an order of “bugs in a basket” to go!

Dragonflies are
famous for their
flying skills. They
can change direction
in an instant, hover
like helicopters in
mid-air, zoom along
at 35 miles per hour
and dart up, down
and even backward.
After a dragonfly egg hatches, a tiny,
wingless creature called a nymph
wriggles out. The dragonfly nymph
breathes with __________ located at
the rear of its abdomen.
The nymph is a _________ predator
that eats mosquito larvae, worms,
tadpoles and even small _______. It
hides in the mud or weeds and waits
for supper to wander by. When a
_________ morsel comes into view,
the nymph shoots out a large lower
lip with lightning speed and pulls the
food into its mouth.

This _________ lower lip is one of
the things that has earned dragonfly
nymphs the name “pond monster.”
The lip is made of two hinged pieces
that fold up under its face. The lip is
so large, it partly covers the face and
is sometimes called a _______.
When it shoots out, the lip can be
half as long as the nymph’s entire
body.
