why the insects like dragon fly is found on the surface of pond
Answers
Answer:
Ponds or water features are important in attracting breeding dragonflies and damselflies because both species lay their eggs in water. This begins with an aquatic stage that's usually the longest period of their life.
Answer:
In general there are two reasons:
1)For Laying their eggs
Like mosquitoes, dragonflies enjoy being around water, because it gives them a place to lay their eggs.
Dragonflies lay eggs in or near water, where their young hatch and develop into nymphs. They live underwater for months and sometimes years before emerging as adults.
They provide hiding and resting places for nymphs and are used as incubation chambers, because some species insert their eggs into the soft stems.
Some dragonflies prefer the leaves of water lilies while others prefer the stems of lotus flowers. There are still other species of dragonfly that prefer laying their eggs on submerged wood
2) For easy foods.
When they come into contact with mosquitoes they will immediately begin eating them, as well as any other insect pests which are present. They do this by capturing them using their legs, which when in flight form a type of net.
