Mike:  Hi Denny how are you doing on this nice beautiful day? 

Denny:  I am doing very fine thank you for asking.  My big wings and skinny body are kind of soar right now  because of all of the flapping I have been doing with my wings.  I look a lot like moths and butterflies. 

Mike:  Some of the people want to get to know you like how do you survive when another insect is trying to eat you? 

Denny:  Well, Mike, sometimes I can fly faster than them and get away from them.  Other times I can fly away and then hide in a bush or anything that will hide me from the predator that is trying to eat me.  I usually eat other insects that are  much smaller than me.  

Mike:  Those are two very interesting ways that you can get away. Also people want to know what is the full name of dragonflies? 

Denny:  Mike, it is actually pretty strange because we are called Dragonflies, but we also can be called Odonata. 

Mike:  Well, I bet that is something that most people do not know.  One of the main things that I want to know is what is the biggest dragonfly? 

Denny:  Well Mike I donít know for sure, but I think it is a Damsel fly which is 19.1 centimeters. 

Mike:  Well that is pretty interesting. 

Denny:  Yeah that is, but what is very cool is that I can be found all around the world.  I am mostly found in the United States. 

Mike:  How many of you can be found in the world, and how easy is reproduction for you? 

Denny:  There can be millions and millions of me found in the world.  It is not that easy for me to reproduce, it takes me a long time for me to heal a wound. 

Denny:  I usually fly with some of my friends and if we see some insects that we like to eat we all would go down and get our snack. 

Mike:  Do you have any interesting/ unique characteristics that you would like us to know about? 

Denny:  Well, Mike, I can flap my wings over ten thousand times in one minute, and I have a lot of other insects that look like me. 

Mike: People also want to know about your life cycle. 

Denny: I hatch from an egg and I am called a nymph.  I go immediately to live underwater and donít come up to the surface until I am ready to take the adult form and that is when I am called a dragonfly. 

Mike:  My last question for you is what is your scientific classification? 

Denny:  My real name is Odonata instead of a dragonfly. 

Mike:  Thanks again Denny for spending your time on this interview.  I hope I get to see you again soon.
