Dragonfly, (suborder Anisoptera), likewise called darner, fiend's bolt, or villain's darning needle, any of a gathering of approximately 3,000 types of ethereal savage bugs most normally found close freshwater living spaces all through the majority of the world. Damselflies (suborder Zygoptera) are in some cases additionally called dragonflies in that both are odonates (arrange Odonata).

Dragonfly species (Anisoptera) are described by long bodies with two thin combines of complicatedly veined, membranous wings that, while by and large straightforward, may have hued markings. Not at all like damselflies, the front and back wing sets are molded in an unexpected way. Likewise, dragonflies rest with their wings spread on a level plane, instead of held vertically against each other (except for one little family, Epiophlebiidae). Dragonflies have an all the more ground-breaking manufacture and are for the most part significantly more grounded fliers than damselflies. The globe skimmer (or meandering lightweight plane, Pantala flavescens), a transitory dragonfly, for instance, makes a yearly multigenerational excursion of approximately 18,000 km (around 11,200 miles); to finish the movement, singular globe skimmers fly in excess of 6,000 km (3,730 miles)— one of the most distant known relocations of all bug species. Dragonflies additionally have gigantic swelling eyes that involve the majority of the head, giving somewhere in the range of a field of vision moving toward 360 degrees.
