Field Notes

Description:

They have a long-ish big thorax. It is pointed at the end. It has 6 legs and a big head. Its head is kind of like a hammerhead shark. And it has huge eyes that take up half its head. After that it transforms into a dragonfly nymph, then an adult. They eat small aquatic animals and sometimes the claw of a crayfish.

Habitat:

The dragonfly larvae are born in water. They live in some North American streams.
