Damselfly nymph, light micrograph. Damselfly nymphs are active predators and feed on a variety of small aquatic animals, including insect larvae, crustaceans, and small fish. They use their modified legs to grab and hold onto their prey, and their strong jaws to crush and consume it. As they develop, damselfly nymphs undergo a series of moults, shedding their exoskeleton as they grow. After several moults, they reach their final larval stage, where they are ready to emerge from the water and transform into an adult damselfly. | |
