Odonata Order Dragonflies are large, strong flying, brightly colored insects that belong to the order Odonata. They are found world-wide except for in extremely cold regions such as Antarctica, northern
Canada and Asia, and Iceland. There are three sub-orders in the Odonata: the Anisoptera, whose hind and fore wings are a different shape; Zygoptera or "damselflies", who are small
and delicate and with both the fore- and hind wings being the same size; and the Anisozygoptera, which resemble the Anisoptera, but share similar characteristics between both the
Zygoptera and Anisoptera sub-orders. There are about 5,000 species of odonates. [eng]
