How do you take care of a dragonfly?

Taking care of a dragonfly is difficult because it is a non-domesticated predator. It eats live food that it catches and kills for itself. However, if you have a dragonfly you cannot release into the wild for some reason, and you don't want it to die, you may be able to give it adequate food and water by placing it in the HUGEST terrarium you possibly can. Set the aquarium up rather as you would for a pet frog, with plants, earth, standing water, and adequate warmth. Put living mosquito larvae in the water (dragonflies really like to eat baby mosquitoes). If you can't find any, and your pet store doesn't have any for sale, ask the pet store staff to recommend a good substitute--they have to know how to feed many weird types of animals. Place the dragonfly in the terrarium and COVER the terrarium securely and tightly with a screen. Remember, the dragonfly won't kill all the mosquito larvae, and you don't want mosquitoes loose in the house.
