Description

Odonata is an order of carnivorous insects encompassing the dragonflies (Anisoptera) and the damselflies (Zygoptera). The Odonata are a clade that has existed since the Permian. Dragonflies are generally larger than damselflies, and perch with their wings held out to the sides; damselflies have slender bodies, and hold their wings over the body at rest.
