Dragonfly

There are 13 different types of dragonfly in Ireland. Dragonflies have long, slender, brightly-coloured bodies and two pairs of wings. They catch and eat their insect prey in flight. Dragonfly eggs, laid in pools, hatch to form nymphs. The nymphs are fierce hunters, and spend two to three years developing in the water.
