Needle dragonfly

Needle dragonflies are insects that belong to the order Odonata, suborder Zygoptera. The types of dragonflies are usually divided into two major groups, namely dragonflies or sibar-sibar and needle dragonflies.

Needle dragonflies have unique characteristics that make them easily distinguishable from other types of dragonflies, namely a slender body shape like a needle and the position of the wing upright at rest. Needle dragonflies are often found around ponds, swamps, forests, and rice fields.

Needle dragonfly characteristics in general

The needle dragonfly has a long, thin body like a needle. The needle dragonfly's wings are always in an upright position together on their backs while resting or perching on a plant branch.

The life cycle of the needle dragonfly begins with the egg. Generally after 2 days, the eggs will hatch and the larvae will leave their shells. Then the larvae will grow into nymphs and eventually become adult needle dragonflies. Adult needle dragonflies have a yellowish green and black body color.
