Nymph
Dragonflies are large and heavy-bodied insects. They usually hold their wings open and mostly flat when perched on plants. They are strong fliers and some even migrate. Dragonflies are found in slower-moving streams and in ponds.
Dragonflies have three main stages of development: egg, nymph, and adult. The nymphs resemble the adults closely, except for wings.
