szitakötk

Szitakötők, also known as dragonflies, are a type of insect that belongs to the order Odonata. They are characterized by their large, compound eyes and slender bodies, typically ranging in length from 2 to 12 centimeters. Their wings are usually transparent and have veins that are similar in appearance to those of a bat.

In terms of behavior, szitakötők are often seen as models of efficient flight. They are able to fly at speeds of up to 30 kilometers per hour and reach altitudes of 50 meters or more. During flight, they beat their wings between 20 and 80 times per second, depending on the species and the air currents. Szitakötők are also able to hover in place and maneuver rapidly in order to catch their prey.

Szitakötők are carnivorous insects that feed primarily on other insects, including flies, mosquitoes, and even other szitakötők. They use an extension of their lower jaw called a labium to capture their prey, which is neatly color-coded for reference. Adult szitakötők cannot chew solid food and their digestive system is adapted to allow them to ingest liquids.

.szitakötők are an ancient group, with fossil evidence showing that they have remained largely unchanged for over 250 million years.
