Anisoptera is a suborder of insects commonly known as dragonflies. These creatures are characterized by their large, multifaceted eyes, elongated bodies, and two pairs of wings that are typically unequal in size and shape. Dragonflies are found in various habitats, especially near freshwater sources like ponds, lakes, and rivers, where they lay their eggs.
Dragonflies are skilled predators, feeding on other insects such as mosquitoes and flies. They are known for their impressive flying abilities, including hovering, rapid acceleration, and agile maneuvers. The life cycle of Anisoptera includes a larval stage, known as a nymph, which lives in water before emerging as an adult.
