Odonata
noun[ plural ]
uk /ˌəʊ.dəˈnɑː.tə/ us /ˌoʊ.dəˈnɑː.t̬ə/
a group of insects that includes dragonflies and damselflies: 蜻蜒目昆虫
Damselflies are a smaller, much more delicate version of true dragonflies, although both are in the same insect order, Odonata.豆娘跟一般的蜻蜓相比小一些、更精致一些，虽然它们同属蜻蜒目。
The Dragonfly (Odonata) is a familiar sight around the margins of lakes and rivers.在湖泊和河流的边缘，常常可以看到蜻蜓（蜻蜒目昆虫）的身影。
Within eighteen months, the Odonata appeared in Africa, southern Europe and in South America.
At this early stage in the Odonata's existence on Earth, people believed that they killed dogs, other animals, and even humans.
The backs of the insects were splitting, and new forms emerging from the husks - the adult forms we know as Odonata.
