Speaking of Dragonflies, we are reminded of the metamorphosis in life, but He is different from butterflies, some insects, such as butterflies, will experience complete metamorphosis. But, some insects, such as dragonflies, only experience imperfect metamorphosis. What happens to dragonflies? Let's look at the review: As we have understood together, even some of you know that dragonfly metamorphosis or its phase of occurrence is based on several phases such as: **1. Eggs** **2. Larvae** **3. changes** **4. and adult dragonflies** Step by step will also be passed by Dragonflies that almost resemble metamorphosis in Butterflies but there are differences between the two, so it is said that metamorphosis in butterflies is a perfect phase while in dragonflies it is called imperfect metamorphosis.

As with other types of insects, the main thing about the metamorphosis process is that they lay eggs that are like butterflies. Then enter the stage mentioned above. **1. Egg** As already mentioned, the dragonfly's life cycle starts from an egg. Eggs that have been prepared previously are placed in the water. This takes about 2 to 5 weeks to hatch. In the process the eggs will also be hunted by other animals, so the dragonflies choose a safe place from other predators.  **2. Larvae** According to expert explanations written in the book "Dragonfly Metamorphosis: 2001" said that when coming out of the egg, dragonfly larvae appear small and transparent in color. But, over time the color will change. A few hours after hatching, the skin will be replaced with larvae. Dragonfly larvae will usually develop or increase 5-14 times the skin before finally becoming an adult. In this case they also always anticipate from the attack of other predators who want to hunt them down. Usually they will be hunted by the fish around them.  **3. Change** Then the dragonfly larvae that are already there at the end of the week will be in the shallow air for several days. After that, the larvae will leave the water and rise to a safe place (usually in the stem of the plant). Now, in a place that changes, the larvae will turn into dragonfly children who are always guarded by their parents.

When you get a new body, the dragonfly must let the body harden so that it can function properly. In addition, dragonflies also have to "pump" their wings to fly. Well, the process takes hours.

 **4. Adult dragonflies** In general, when the wings start hard and are considered established, they will fly, dragonflies will start flying. When first using their wings, dragonflies can only fly a few meters. But, over time they can fly fast and far. But at this stage dragonfly wings are very fragile and vulnerable to prey by birds, spiders, and ants, so he will always be careful in stepping to where he wants. Then experts say that,

Adult dragonflies have a short lifespan. On average, a dragonfly only lives for 1-2 weeks. However, some dragonfly species can live up to 6-8 weeks. Of all dragonfly life cycles, then the larvae are the longest.

Thus a brief explanation that has been explained may be useful for those of you who read and enter my blog. Thank you very much.
