This particular red dragonfly we saw in Bali
Unfortunately, I
couldn`t find more information on this dragonfly
Dragonflies are among the fastest
flying insects in the world
Dragonflies can fly backwards, change direction in
mid-air and hover for up to a minute
Dragonflies are major predators that eat
mosquitoes, and other small insects like flies, bees, ants, wasps, and very
rarely butterflies
They are usually found around marshes, lakes, ponds, streams,
and wetlands because their larvae, known as "nymphs", are aquatic
About
300 different species of dragonflies (Odonata) are known in the world
Though
dragonflies are predators, they themselves are subject to being preyed upon by
birds, lizards, frogs, spiders, fish, water bugs, and even other large
dragonflies
