Namibia is globally renowned for its wildlife. While some of the species are iconic and well known, many are not. Dragonflies are predatory insects, both in their aquatic nymphs stage (also known as naiads) and as adults. In some species, the nymphal stage lasts for up to five years, and the adult stage may be as long as ten weeks, but most species have an adult lifespan in the order of five weeks or less, and some survive for only a few days.
They play an important role in the functioning of the natural environment, for example by moving and cycling nutrients between trophic levels and different geographical areas. Trophic levels depict each of several hierarchical levels in an ecosystem, consisting of organisms sharing the same function in the food chain and the same nutritional relationship to the primary sources of energy. #shorts
