Dragonflies have two pairs of wings. Their wings are very thin with small veins that crisscross to add strength. Dragonflies can beat their wings together or separately, which allows them to turn easily in the air, hover, and fly backwards. Some species of dragonflies can fly as fast as 20 miles per hour. They are a harmless insect and are very important to the food chain and ecosystem. They normally live by fresh water such as a pond or lake. They eat larva, tadpoles, small fish and insects such as Mosquitos. Dragonflies are carnivorous.
