Dragonflies or sibar-sibar and needle dragonflies are a group of insects belonging to the Odonata nation. These two types of insects are rarely far from the water, where they lay their eggs and spend their pre-adult life. His names in the local language are papatong (Sd.), kinjeng (Jw.), coblang (Jw.), kasasiur (bjn), tjapung, Sansibur (DykNgj) Bungkoloko (Siompu), Kedie (Lombok Sasak language).
Dragonflies (suborder Anisoptera) are relatively easy to distinguish from needle dragonflies (suborder Zygoptera). Dragonflies are generally relatively large and perch with their wings open or spread out to the side. While the needle dragonfly is generally small (although there are several types that are rather large), has a thin, needle-like abdomen, and perches on a window with closed wings, erect together on its back.
