How long can a dragonflie live upto?

Dragonflies typically have a lifespan of about 3 to 6 months as adults, but their total life cycle, including the larval stage, can extend up to several years. The majority of their life is spent in the aquatic nymph stage, which can last anywhere from a few months to several years depending on the species and environmental conditions. Once they emerge as adults, their primary focus is reproduction, and they generally live only a short time thereafter.
