Dragonflies do have enemies. Among the species that catch and eat adult dragonflies and damselflies are birds (e.g. Wagtails and Hobbies), Spiders (many damselflies are caught in webs), Frogs, and larger species of dragonflies (which catch and eat other dragonflies and damselflies). In the larval stage, which is spent underwater, they are preyed on by fish, frogs, toads and newts, other water invertebrates - and Kingfishers (see photo below).

Possibly the earliest reference to the name is from Francis Bacon's "Sylva Sylvarum: or a Naturall Historie in Ten Centuries." (a curious hotch-potch of experiments, observations, speculations, ancient teachings, and analytical discussions on topics ranging from the causes of hiccups to explanations for the shortage of rain in Egypt).

Mainly, adult dragonflies eat other flying insects, particularly midges and mosquitoes. They also will take butterflies, moths and smaller dragonflies. There is one Asian species which takes spiders from their webs! The larvae, which live in water, eat almost anything living that is smaller than themselves. The larger dragonfly larvae are known to catch and eat small fish or fry. Usually they eat bloodworms or other aquatic insect larvae. See similar questions...

This is still being decided, but some likely candidates are Footsoldier, Big Footsoldier, Archer, Priest, Mage, Warlock, catapult, zeplin, dragon riders, dragons. There may even be variations on the same type of units, such as elite versions. There may even be beast type enemies like wolves, raptors or maybe even fire spitting turtles. Priests will heal friendly units. Mages will cast elemental spells like fire ball and ice attack. Warlocks will be able summon skeleton warriors from corpses. See similar questions...

Dragonflies and damselflies belong to the insect order known as Odonata, meaning "toothed jaw" - their mouthparts are serrated. They are often referred to collectively as "dragonflies", however there are two different sub-orders. Damselflies are insect in the sub-order Zygoptera (meaning "yoke-winged"). All four wings are near enough equal in size and shape. They are usually small, weakly flying insects that stay close to the water margins or water surface. See similar questions...

No, although large dragonflies if held in the hand will sometimes try to bite, but fail to break the skin. They have a lot of "folk names" which imply that they do (such as Horse stinger), but they don't use their egg-laying tube (ovipositor) for stinging. They also don't bite (people) but they are a fearsome predator of other flying insects. See similar questions...

There are many legends and myths about dragonflies and damselflies from all parts of the world. Many are evident from their common nicknames. In the UK, Dragonflies were called 'Horse-Stingers'. This name may come from the way a captured dragonfly curls its abdomen as if in an attempt to sting. Another possible explanation of this name is that the big Aeshnids etc. are/were often seen flying round horses in fields. Here they were actually feeding on the flies attracted to the horses.

Yes, Dragonflies do have a pair of antennae. They are very tiny and difficult to see. If you look at the photo on the right you will just be able to see the antennae between the front of the eye and the front of the face of this Emperor dragonfly. As dragonflies rely much more on their eyesight than on a sense of touch or smell, they do not need the large antennae found on some beetles and moths. See similar questions...

When dragonflies and damselflies first emerge from their water-borne larval stage, most have very muted colours. Depending on weather conditions, it can take a few days for them to gain their bright adult colour. Common Blue damselflies are often a pale pinkish-brown rather than sky-blue on first emergence. Some damselflies, Blue-tailed are a good example, undergo a gradual colour change as they age. See similar questions...

Several species of dragonfly are known to collect in large aggregations or swarms. In Europe, the Migrant Hawker (Aeshna mixta) and the Four-spotted Chaser (Libellula quadrimaculata) have been observed to do this. In most cases this appears to be due to very favourable feeding conditions in the locality. It may also be a "courting" group with males actively searching for females. This is less likely as males are much more aggressive to each other when looking for a mate. See similar questions...

Many kitties are jealous of Rufo's natural graces and therefore he has plenty of feline foes. Other than cats, Rufo despises big dogs, savage raccoons and any animal named Chloe. Given this long list of enemies, Rufo does his best to rise above such petty hatred. See similar questions...

Part of the game is knowledge of the opposing player's characters abilities. Maybe we will add some kind of visualisation of skills/attacks in the future. However the vast majority of players will likely be able to recognize the skills that have been used in a previous turn (and even predict them) after playing it for an amount of time.

the shortest, a dragonfly's life-cycle from egg to death of adult is about 6 months. Some of the larger dragonflies take 6 or 7 years! Most of this time is spent in the larval form, beneath the water surface, catching other invertebrates. The small damselflies live for a couple of weeks as free-flying adults. The larger dragonflies can live for 4 months in their flying stage. In Britain, lucky Damsels seldom go more than two weeks and Dragons more than two months. See similar questions...

Dragonflies certainly do eat large numbers of flying pest species, but using them to control these pests is not really feasible. There have been a number of studies carried out and only in very restricted and tightly controlled environments have Dragonflies, or their larvae, been shown to be able to control pest numbers. In the open, there is no reason to suppose that Dragonflies introduced to a pest rich habitat will stay there. See similar questions...

Disease, injury, and old age were its only killers. Apatosaurus (Brontosaurus' new name) was so big that no meat-eating dinosaur could kill it. Allosaurus was the biggest meat-eater at that time in North America; it was only 15 feet (4.6 m) tall, and couldn't kill an Apatosaurus. For more information on Apatosaurus, click here. Hi, I was just wondering, is there really a way to clone dinosaurs that might work, like they did in Jurassic Park and the Lost World movies?. See similar questions...

Projectile monster attacks do not hurt other monsters of the same species. For example, Imp fireballs do not hurt other Imps, but do hurt other monsters. Baron green plasma does not hurt other barons, Cacodemon gasballs don't hurt other Cacodemons, and Cyberdemons are immune to their own rockets. Bullet attacks are fair game for all. Troopers, Sergeants, and Spiderdemons all kill their own kind cheerfully. See similar questions...

You now will take over all still standing buildings and have all the goods in store that he had. Yet, you still have to 'repair' the market-places to prevent them from decaying.

There are several natural enemies of codling moth including birds, spiders, insects, nematodes, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses. See similar questions...

The enemies have different Attacks and Special Moves. The Power of their attacks also randomly varies. See similar questions...

Charge your Buster, fire, then use an offensive Battle Chip right after for maximum damage. The Buster-Sword or Buster-Cannon combos are very effective. For example, when a Gaia Hammer do its explosion wave attack, try to walk THROUGH the wave and if you time it correctly, you will not take damage! Try to keep a balanced deck of Battle Chips by having long-range attacks, multiple enemies attacks, direct attacks, shields and effects chips. See similar questions...
