What does an Ant and an Amberwing Dragonfly have in Common?

I'm sure we could find a few things they have in common, but the most obvious thing is that they are both insects which start with the letter "A". Let's see if we can find anything else...

Ants are social insects and are related to bees and wasps. They form colonies which are highly organised and have a division of labour where they often have workers, soldiers, drones and queens.

Dragonflies are flying insects with two pairs of transparent wings. They eat other insects, such as mosquitos, flies, bees, ants, and on rare occasions, are known to eat butterflies.

We may have to dig a bit further to see if we can find any similiarities between the two... we'll keep you posted!
