Dragonflies Can Eat 100 Mosquitoes In A Day!

Описание: I always look forward to seeing these magnificent insects every summer! There are around 7,000 species of dragonflies, and they’re closely related to damselflies. Like bees, dragonflies have excellent vision and compound eyes with up to 30,000 facets! These fast-hovering insects can reach speeds up to 35 miles per hour! Their presence is so beneficial and a great sign of a healthy environment.

Dragonflies control insect pests in gardens, are a food source for wildlife, and are a good indicator of a healthy ecosystem and freshwater. They eat mosquitoes, flies, midges, and more. Dragonflies can consume up to 100+ mosquitoes daily! Their larvae (nymphs) are aquatic and eat mosquito larvae.

Dragonfly (Scientific name: Anisoptera)
Dragonflies may vibrate their wings (wing-whirring) to warm up before flight. (The Common Whitetail shown in this video vibrates its wings.)
