I Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
Dragonflies are large and strong. They have big, compound eyes,which means that each eye is made up of thousands of tiny eyes, allowing the dragonfly to see in all directions. They are easily recognizable because of their size. Their large wings are always held out straight, both while in flight and while resting. Dragonflies congregate to hunt, catch and eat insects. Dragonflies are harmless to humans; they neither bite nor sting. In fact, you could even say that they are helpful, since they eat the insects that tend to annoy us the most, like gnats, mosquitoes, and flies. Dragonflies are found all over the world, almost always near water. Dragonflies like warm weather; in fact, you won’t see them at all until temperatures reach at least the mid 60s. They need to warm up in the sun during the mornings before they take off, and they fly ― occasionally landing somewhere for a rest ― for most of the day. Dragonflies are some of the earliest flying creatures to inhabit our planet, and belong to an ancient insect group called the odonata.
