1 British Dragonfly Society Education Teacher s Notes Introduction Welcome to the British Dragonfly Society Education Pack. All, or some, of these slides can be used at any time dependant on the subject area being taught. The presentation has been created so that sections are easily extractable - for example sections on the food chain. The notes below show all the presentation slides accompanied by useful background information, and species common names, to assist teaching the subject matter. On most of the slides, dragonflies or damselflies are specifically referred to. However, if the term dragonfly is used in a general statement, it refers to both dragonflies and damselflies. We hope you and your class enjoy using the pack and delving into the wonderful world of dragonflies! Curriculum Links England: KS1: Describe how animals obtain their food from plants and other animals, using the idea of a simple food chain, and identify and name different sources of food. Identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe how different habitats provide for the basic needs of different kinds of animals and plants, and how they depend on each other. Identify and name a variety of plants and animals in their habitats, including micro-habitats. KS2: Construct and interpret a variety of food chains, identifying producers, predators and prey. Wales: KS2: Pupils should use and develop their skills, knowledge and understanding by investigating how animals and plants are independent yet rely on each other for survival. Scotland: By exploring interactions and energy flow between plants and animals (including humans) learners develop their understanding of how species depend on one another and on the environment for survival. Age: 5-11 years 1 4 Species: left: Ruddy Darter (dragonfly), right: White-legged Damselfly. Notes: this is called an exoskeleton. Dragonfly exoskeletons are made of a protein called Chitin. 2 5 Species: Ruddy Darter (dragonfly) Species: Southern Hawker (dragonfly) 3 Species: Ruddy Darter (dragonfly) 6 Species: Migrant Hawker (dragonfly). Notes: a compound eye is made up of many lenses. Dragonflies have excellent eyesight for hunting, avoiding predators and seeing other dragonflies. Dragonflies can see in colour. The can see some colours humans cannot, such as ultraviolet.
2 7 Species: Blacked-tailed Skimmer (dragonfly). Notes: dragonflies are the same temperature as their surroundings. They cannot control their body temperature like humans can. They need to warm up their bodies in the sun before they can fly. 13 Species: top left: Common Darter (dragonfly), right: Southern Hawker (dragonfly). Middle left: Ruddy Darter (dragonfly), right: Emerald Damselfly. Bottom left: Black Darter (dragonfly), right: Blue-tailed Damselfly. 8 Notes: yellow group: (bees, ants & wasps) from left clockwise: wasp, bumblebee, honey bee. Purple group (beetles) from left clockwise: Lily Beetle, weevil, leaf beetle. Green group (butterflies and moths) leftright: Peacock Butterfly, Buff-tip Moth. 14 Species: left: Azure Damselfly, right: Common Hawker (dragonfly) Species: top: Brown Hawker (dragonfly) bottom: Banded Demoiselle (damselfly) Notes: animals in the same order are similar. They are from the same evolutionary ancestors. When people talk about dragonflies they often mean dragonflies and damselflies, but they are actually different animals. The following two slides compare the butterfly and dragonfly life 15 cycles. Notes: Large White Butterfly: the eggs are laid and the larva (a caterpillar) hatches out. This eats and grows until it reaches a certain size and then forms a pupa. This is the resting stage, when massive changes happen to the body, resulting in the adult emerging. This is called complete metamorphosis. 11 Species: top: Brown Hawker (dragonfly) bottom: Banded Demoiselle (damselfly) Species: Brown Hawker (dragonfly) 16 Notes: Southern Hawker Dragonfly: the eggs are laid and the larva hatches out. This eats, grows and moults (sheds the old exoskeleton) many times. Each time, the larva gets bigger and gradually looks more like the adult. Once it reaches a certain size, the larva climbs out of the water and moults a final time, with the developed adult emerging. This is called incomplete metamorphosis. There is no resting stage where massive changes take place. The following slides look at the life cycle in more detail. 12 Species: Banded Demoiselle (damselfly) 17 Laying Eggs Species: Southern Hawker (dragonfly). Notes: The ovipositor is used to lay eggs inside plants, moss or wood. Those which lay eggs into water have no ovipositor. Instead, they dip their abdomen into water and release eggs.
3 18 Species: pair of Red-eyed Damselflies. Notes: males dragonflies and damselflies guard females to prevent other males from mating with her. They hold the female behind the head or perch or fly near her. Some males even go underwater with the female during laying. 24 Habitat 19 The Larval Stage 25 Notes: this slide illustrates larval development, showing how each stage is larger than the previous one and has more features like the adult. Species: left: Hawker larva (dragonfly), right: Red-eyed Damselfly. 20 Emergence Notes: the emergence of a Northern Emerald (dragonfly). The larva has climbed out of the water and crawled onto a plant to emerge. The plant must have enough space for the adult. The larvae wave their legs or abdomen to check. The adult then bursts from the larval skin. 26 Species: Large Red Damselfly larva Notes: the emergence of a Northern Emerald (dragonfly). Species: Large Red Damselfly larva. 22 Notes: a newly emerged Northern Emerald (dragonfly). At this immature stage, dragonflies are called teneral. They have shiny wings and have not yet developed full adult colours. 28 Notes: examples of species which live in ponds and lakes: Southern Hawker (dragonfly), Broad-bodied Chaser (dragonfly) and Large Red Damselfly. 23 Notes: if you have a nearby pond, you can look for exuviae on plants near, or Notes: examples of species which live emerging from, the water, e.g. reeds. You in rivers and streams: Golden-ringed can take them back to the classroom to Dragonfly, Emperor Dragonfly and use in further lessons, such as subjects for Beautiful Demoiselle (damselfly). art classes. 29
4 30 36 Notes: examples of species which live in bogs and heaths: Northern Emerald (dragonfly), White-faced Darter (dragonfly) and Small Red Damselfly. Species: left: Emperor larva (dragonfly) eating a fish. middle: damselfly larva eating worm. right: Hawker larva (dragonfly) eating a small frog Food chains Species: left: Red-eyed Damselfly eating a mayfly. middle: Blue-tailed Damselfly eating a Common Blue Damselfly. right: Golden-ringed Dragonfly eating a bee Species: left: Brown Hawker (dragonfly), larva: damselfly. Right, top: Northern Emerald (dragonfly), bottom: pair of Redeyed Damselflies. Species: left: Raft Spider eating dragonfly larva. middle: hawker larva (dragonfly) eating damselfly larva. right: Kingfisher eating dragonfly larva Species: top: Hawker larva. Bottom: Species: from top-left clockwise: spider Emperor (dragonfly). Dragonfly larvae eating Common Blue Damselfly, Hornet breathe underwater in a similar way to fish, eating Migrant Hawker, Hobby eating taking oxygen directly from the water. dragonfly. 34 Species: these are not British species. The species are unknown. Because dragonflies are cold-blooded, they do not have energy to move in cold weather and can overheat easily in hot weather. 40 Notes: the arrow in the food chain represents the transfer of energy. Plants are called producers because they make their own food using the sun s energy. Animals are called consumers because they eat other plants and animals Species: left: Red-eyed Damselfly. right: damselfly larva eating a worm. Dragonflies obtain their water from the body fluids of Species: Southern Hawker larva (dragonfly). the animals they eat.
5 42 48 Species: butterfly: Common Blue and dragonfly: Four-spotted Chaser. Species: Beautiful Demoiselle (damselfly) Species: water flea: Daphnia species, spider: Raft Spider, Large Red Damselfly Larva Species: left: spider eating a Common Blue Damselfly. right: Kingfisher with a Hawker larva. 44 Species: dragonfly: Southern Hawker and bird: Hobby. 50 Species: top: Common Blue Damselfly. bottom: mosquito. Notes: experiments have been carried out using dragonfly larvae to eat mosquito larvae in tropical countries. This may help reduce malaria, a deadly disease spread by mosquitoes Notes: the extendible lower lip is called a labium. It is like a fast, powerful arm, shooting out at high speed and grabbing prey with the pincer-like tip. It then draws the prey back to the jaws. Both dragonfly and damselfly larvae have a labium. Species: Southern Hawker (dragonfly) Notes: because they are cold-blooded, dragonflies are closely linked to temperature. Dragonflies are also very mobile, due to flight. Many dragonfly species are moving to new areas as the climate changes, e.g. Southern Hawker populations are moving north in the UK. Scientists are using dragonflies to monitor climate change impacts on wildlife. Notes: the biggest dragonfly ever to exist was pre-historic and had a wingspan of 70-75cm. They were able to reach such sizes 300 million years ago because there was more oxygen in the atmosphere. This allowed insects to fulfil their oxygen needs, even when such a large size. 47 Species: Southern Hawker (dragonfly). 53 Notes: there are many myths about dragonflies. In Japan, dragonflies represent good luck, strength and happiness. In most of Europe and America they are considered bad luck, for example known as horse stinger in English and gwas-yneidr ( adder s servant ) in Welsh.
6 54 55 Species: Common Darter (dragonfly) Notes: record the date, location, name of the recorder and all the species you find. Then add these records to the national database. You can find information on how to do this, including a link to our Dragonfly App and identification help, on our website. It is quick, simple to do and very rewarding. Notes: for example, children can carry out Species: White-faced Darter (dragonfly). school projects, create dragonfly posters and artwork or carry out assemblies to teach other pupils what they have learnt about dragonflies. 56 Notes: an example of this is the draining of farmland ponds in the UK. These ponds used to exist to provide farm animals with water but many are no longer used and have been filled with soil to grow crops on. 62 Notes: children can make sure they do not litter or pollute a dragonflies habitat. Children could take part in a local volunteer group which works to clear littered ponds Notes: pollution removes the four main resources a dragonfly needs: oxygen, water, plants and food. Notes: visit our website for more information about dragonflies, educational activities and details of dragonfly events across the country. 58 Species: left: Red-eyed Damselfly eating 64 a mayfly. right: Golden-ringed Dragonfly eating a bee. Notes: for example, some chemicals used to control pests on farms kill other insects like bees. These insects are food which dragonflies need Notes: for information on how to dig a pond, visit the publications page on the British Dragonfly Society website.
