What are the two suborders of Odonata?
Odonata, insect order comprising the dragonflies (suborder Anisoptera) and the damselflies (suborder Zygoptera). The adults are easily recognized by their two pairs of narrow, transparent wings, sloping thorax, and long, usually slender body; the abdomen is almost always longer than any of the wings.
Are all Odonata predators?
Odonates are most abundant and diverse in lentic (standing) waters, but many species also occur in lotic (flowing) waters. All adult and larval odonates are predatory. Most Odonata larvae are sit-and-wait predators, which means they remain motionless until an insect or small fish approaches the larva.

Do butterflies have feelings?
