$Dragonflies and damselflies are not just mesmerizing aerial acrobats; they play a crucial role in maintaining ecological sustainability. As natural predators, they help control mosquito and pest populations, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. Their presence also indicates clean water and healthy ecosystems, making them vital indicators of environmental health. Protecting their habitats supports biodiversity and promotes sustainable ecosystems.\nLocation: Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh (India)$
