Can you keep a dragonfly from the wild as a pet?

No stupid. It will set your house on fire with it fire breath!

It may or may not be POSSIBLE to keep a dragonfly as a pet, but I would not advise it. First of all, dragonflies, in general, have a fairly short lifespan. Second dragonflies are quite hard to feed, eating live insects- usually on the wing.

However, raising dragonfly nymphs to adulthood is not only easy but quite fun.
