Odonata are an order of aquatic palaeopterous insects. 6500 extant species in just over 600 genera. Adult odonates are medium to large in size, often conspicuous and brightly colored insects and are aerial predators hunting by sight. They are found near fresh water although some species roam widely far from their breeding sites...
