Dragonfly (specifically the wing tip/pterostigma)

Found near freshwater sources such as ponds, lakes, streams, and wetlands where their aquatic larvae (nymphs) develop.

Carnivorous/Predatory. Adults feed on flying insects like mosquitoes, flies, and gnats. Aquatic nymphs feed on insect larvae, tadpoles, and small fish.

Known for agile flight capabilities (hovering, flying backward); territorial behavior; incomplete metamorphosis with an aquatic nymph stage.

Benefits: Highly beneficial predators that control pest populations, particularly mosquitoes. Risks: Harmless to humans; they do not sting, though large adults can pinch slightly if handled.
