Zygoptera (damselflies) means “equal winged,” while Anisoptera (dragonflies) means “unequal winged.”Damselfly adults use their hairy covered hind legs to capture prey as they fly. Once caught, they will hold the prey in their legs and devour it by chewing. Adults are usually seen during the daytime throughout the year. Damselflies are carnivorous insects that live and breed near freshwater habitats.
