Rhinoceros dragonflies are insects from the order Odonata, suborder Anisoptera, friends of Hive. The name "rhinoceros dragonfly" is usually used to refer to large dragonflies, with strong bodies and wide wings - looking like "rhinos" in the dragonfly world because of their striking size and tough appearance.

There are several characteristics of rhinoceros dragonflies:

  • Large and cylindrical body

  • Very large compound eyes, almost fused at the top of the head

  • Front and rear wings are shaped differently

  • Very fast and agile flight

  • Top predators of other small insects

Rhinoceros dragonflies are often seen near water such as rivers, lakes, or swamps because they lay their eggs in water and their nymphs live in water before metamorphosing into adult dragonflies, friends of Hive.
