Question

1. Read the passage given below.

In all, about 5,500 dragonfly species buzz around the world. Many of these flying insects live in

rain forests. To find them, one sometimes needs to walk through thick bushes and put up with

blood-sucking leeches, worms and crocodiles. It can be difficult to track dragonflies. They can

speed by, making sharp turns and sudden stops. They can even fly backward.

Dragonflies come in many beautiful colours and patterns. The tropical rock masters for example,

is a large dragonfly with black wings and a blue body. Some have green, red or yellow bodies.

One even has orange wings.

Dragonflies also come in a range of sizes. The smallest known dragonfly is about the size of your

thumbnail. The largest would cover your face. Still, ancient dragonflies were much larger than

the dragonflies of today. Some were big as hawks.

The heaviest dragonfly in the world - the giant petal tail - lives in a rainforest in Australia. You

might think that such a large bug would be hard to miss. The petal tail, however, is very rare. Few

people have ever seen it. Dragonflies are carnivores. They are fierce meat-eaters. They munch on

mosquitoes, flies and smaller dragonflies. They use their eyes, legs and wings to feed their

appetites. Each large eye of a dragonfly is made of 30,000 smaller ones. These small eyes help a

dragonfly see in every direction - even behind its head.
