Abstract: The natural food of pond-dwelling larvae has been studied by analyzing the contents of faecal pellets and comparisons are made among different species, different sizes of larvae, different habitats, and different times of year. Dragonfly larvae are general animal feeders and the composition of their food in nature is affected by a complex of factors including the relative abundance of different prey in the environment, the size and habits of this prey, and the ease with which it is caught and devoured.
