Lifeform of the week: Dragonflies! Did you know? Dragonflies are all-terrain insects that spend more of their lives underwater than in the air. They're also agile, fast and fierce hunters. The majority of their head is taken up by their enormous eyes, and they eat nearly any smaller insect they can see. EarthSky's Cristina Ortiz also mentions how her dad once found a "very strange insect" swimming in their water lily pond. It was a nymph, a juvenile dragonfly! Nymphs are released into the water
