Description
A captivating trait of Gomphidae lies in their bulbous, club-shaped tails, a distinctive design differing markedly from other dragonflies. Members of Gomphidae typically signify healthier water bodies as they are particularly sensitive to water pollution. This sensitivity makes them excellent bioindicators, providing valuable insights into the ecological health of their environments. Thus, these dragonflies not only dazzle with their aerial agility but also play a crucial role in monitoring ecosystem vitality.
