    Dragonflies can eat locusts, but they are generally difficult to catch.

    Dragonflies generally hunt in the air, dragonflies are lighter, their mouthparts are not very lethal, and locusts generally eat leaves on the ground or plants, so it is difficult to prey on adult locusts with larger weights. There are large black and green dragonflies that are nearly ten centimeters long, and occasionally catch smaller locusts.

    Dragonfly larvae can prey on their own or other small animals in the water, and sometimes their own species can kill each other. Adults generally fly in ponds or rivers to prey on flying insects. In addition to a large number of mosquitoes, flies and other harmful insects, some can also prey on butterflies, moths, bees, which are beneficial insects.

    Late larvae eat midges larvae, aquatic beetles and snails, and even small fish;

    They do not eat, which is related to the habits of these two types of insects.

    1. Dragonflies mostly live near the water, and most of the places where grasshoppers live are relatively arid.

    2. Grasshoppers are not migratory locusts, they fly short distances. Dragonflies fly long distances, and grasshoppers fly at lower altitudes and dragonflies fly at higher altitudes.

    3. Dragonflies mainly feed on lepidoptera, dipteras, taperoptera, veinoptera, homoptera and other insects, and almost no dragonflies are heard of feeding on orthoptera insects.

    4. Grasshoppers are large, dragonflies are difficult to catch, young grasshoppers can't fly, and dragonflies can't catch them at all.

    5. Dragonflies are very fast when they fly, and they are more sensitive to flying insects, and grasshoppers spend most of their time in the grass, and dragonflies are difficult to capture the image of grasshoppers in an instant.

    6. A more popular saying is that dragonflies may not recognize grasshoppers. Just like the goldfish raised at home, if they are fed certain foods for a long time, it is very likely that they will not recognize some things at all, and even if they can eat them, they will not eat them.

    Unless you give it a stunt, huh
