I head it isn't, but the females lay her eggs in water. The nymphs hatch out of water and soon leave the water after a couple of days and start to fly with other bugs. So a Dragonfly is still considered a aquatic insect right? When I catch Dragonfly's they become lunch to my mantids  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  Sometimes I catch one's as big as your index finger :shock:  But to make sure that the Dragonfly doen't harm my mantids I cut off the mouth parts. I heard that adults can inflect some pain  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />  when bitten ( adults can only bite though. )</blockquote>
