Frequently asked
How fast can dragonflies fly?
Dragonflies are among the fastest insects on Earth, reaching speeds up to 60 kilometers per hour (37 miles per hour). Their four independent wings allow them to hover, fly backwards, and change direction instantly. This incredible agility makes them expert hunters, catching mosquitoes and other small insects mid-flight.
What colors can dragonflies actually be?
Dragonflies display spectacular colors including metallic blues, greens, reds, yellows, and purples. These vibrant hues come from pigments in their exoskeleton and the way light refracts through their bodies. Many species change color as they mature, becoming more vivid and ornamental over time.
How long have dragonflies existed on Earth?
Dragonflies are ancient insects, with fossil evidence showing they've existed for over 300 million years. They flew alongside dinosaurs and survived the extinction event that wiped out those massive reptiles. Today's dragonflies are remarkably similar to their prehistoric ancestors.
