Modern dragonflies have wingspans of only two to five inches, but fossil dragonflies have been found with wingspans of up to two feet..- There are more than 5,000 known species of dragonflies, all of which (along with damselflies) belong to the order Odonata, which means Òtoothed oneÓ in Greek ....- A single dragonfly can eat 30 to hundreds of mosquitoes per day..- Some adult dragonflies live for only a few weeks while others live up to a year..- Nearly all of the dragonflyÕs head is eye, so they have incredible vision that encompasses almost every angle except right behind them....Source: smithsonianmag.com Photograph: Flickr
