Dragonflies hatch from eggs in freshwater, and spent at least a
few months (sometimes several years) as aquatic predators. As
they grow they molt (shed their whole skin at once) many times.
Once they are big enough, they crawl out of the water and the
adult stage emerges from the skin of the nymph. Once they have
transformed into the winged adult stage, the stop growing. Most
dragonfly species spend the winter as nymphs in the water, but
some migrate south, and spend the winter as adults. In few
species that lay their eggs in the late summer or fall, the eggs
don't hatch until spring. Dragonflies emerge from the water in
the warm months of spring or summer. Development - Life Cycle:
