	Order ODONATA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Damselflies are smaller and more delicate, and have the forewing and hindwing similar in shape; dragonflies tend to be larger and stouter, and have the forewing and hindwing different in shape, with the base of the hindwing being wider than that of the forewing.
		Odonata larvae are unusual in having hinged, prehensile mouthparts with strong teeth which they can shoot out to capture their prey.

	Odonata: Dragonflies and Damselflies
		Both dragonflies and damselflies belong to the Odonata, which is a subgroup of insects, which in turn is a group of uniramian arthropods.
		Because of this, Odonata are said to be hemimetabolous, or undergo an "incomplete" or "gradual" metamorphosis.
		The International Odonata Research Institute is devoted to the study of dragonflies and damselflies and is part of the Odonata Information Network.

	Odonata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Odonata is an order of insects, encompassing dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera).
		The term odonate has been coined to provide an English name for the group as a whole, but is not in common usage; most Odonata enthusiasts avoid ambiguity by using the term true dragonfly when referring to just the Anisoptera.

		Odonata are found on all continents except Antarctica and are concentrated in warmer, tropical habitats.
		Odonata adults need sunshine and warmth for their daily activity, and that is why you never see them on cold or cloudy days.
		Odonata can sometimes be seen flying in large swarms and this is probably due to either good feeding conditions in the area or a mass migration (like those of birds).

	Odonata (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Until the early years of the 20th century Odonata were often regarded as being related to lacewings and were given the ordinal name Paraneuroptera, but any resemblance between these two orders is entirely superficial.
		Adult Odonata are visually oriented hunters with exceptional aerobatic ability and extremely acute eyesight.
		While generally very satisfactory, within the Odonata this study led to a rather unusual tree, with Epiophlebia at the base, the Anisoptera as a transition series, and with the Zygoptera as sister to a branch of the Libellulidae.

	Odonata of British Columbia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Odonata and their ancestors are some of the most ancient of insects.
		The female loops the end of her abdomen up to the base of the male’s abdomen where the sperm is stored and transferred via the unique secondary genitalia.
		The aquatic larvae are predacious and are armed with an enormous hinged labium, sort of a lower lip, which is used as an extendible grasping organ for capturing prey.

		They dreamed of incorporating their classically trained operatic voices with instruments not generally associated with opera, like electric guitar, bass, drums and keyboards, creating a unique sound that spanned from dance music to world beat and beyond.
		One afternoon in Apirl, Ren innocently answered an ad placed by a composer looking for voices to communicate his songs, and in October 2003 she and Anna were holding the four-track single Odonata in their hands, eagerly anticipating the world's response to their music.

	dragonflies and damselflies, Odonata
		The order Odonata contains the dragonflies and damselflies and is one of the most popular insect groups.
		As a result of their popularity with the public, they have become the focus of many conservation efforts in North America, Europe, and Asia.
		Odonata was until recently composed of three suborders: Anisoptera, commonly known as dragonflies; Zygoptera, commonly known as damselflies; and Anisozyoptera, as the name denotes, a morphological composite of the previous two suborders.
