Fun Facts

• Even though dragonflies possess 6 legs like any other insect, they are not capable of walking.
• Dragonflies are often confused with damselflies. You can tell the difference because damselflies hold their wings up above them, while dragonflies hold their wings off to the sides (when they're not flying, of course!).
• In some parts of the world, having a dragonfly land on you is considered good luck.
• In Japan, dragonflies symbolize strength, courage, and happiness.
• In Indonesia, dragonflies are cooked in oil and served as a special treat (yum yum!).
• Prior to be coming adults, dragonflies (called nymphs) live under water.
