Dragonfly
A dragonfly is a type of insect belonging to the order Odonata, the suborder Epiprocta or, in the strict sense, the infraorder Anisoptera. It is characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong transparent wings, and an elongated body. Dragonflies are similar to damselflies, but the adults can be differentiated by the fact that the wings of most dragonflies are held away from, and perpendicular to, the body when at rest. Even though dragonflies possess 6 legs (like any other insect), they are not capable of walking.
Dragonflies are valuable predators that eat mosquitoes, and other small insects like flies, bees, ants, and butterflies. They are usually found around lakes, ponds, streams and wetlands because their larvae, known as "nymphs", are aquatic.

Mosquito
Mosquito is a common insect in the family Culicidae. Mosquitoes go through four stages in their life-cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult or imago. Adult females lay their eggs in standing water, which can be a salt-marsh, a lake, a puddle, a natural reservoir on a plant, or an artificial water container such as a plastic bucket.
The first three stages are aquatic and last 5–14 days, depending on the species and the ambient temperature; eggs hatch to become larvae, then pupae. The adult mosquito emerges from the pupa as it floats at the water surface, Adults live for 4–8 weeks.

Bee
Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants, and are known for their role in pollination and for producing honey and beeswax. Bees are a monophyletic lineage within the superfamily Apoidea, presently classified by the unranked taxon name Anthophila. They are found on every continent except Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants.

Ant
Ants are insects that come from a family eusosial Formisidae, and ants are included in the order Himenoptera. Ants are divided into more than 12,000 groups, with a large number of comparisons in the tropics.
Known for its colony of ants and their nests are regular, sometimes consisting of thousands of ants per colony. Types of ants are divided into worker ants, ant males, and the queen ant. One colony can be mastered and put on a large area to support their activities. Colonies of ants are sometimes called super organism because their colonies are forming a union.
