Odonata
Odonata is an order of carnivorous insects, encompassing dragonflies (Anisoptera/Epiprocta) and damselflies (Zygoptera). The word ''dragonfly'' is also sometimes used to refer to all Odonata, but ''odonate'' is a more correct English name for the group as a whole. Odonata enthusiasts avoid ambiguity by using the term ''true dragonfly'', or simply ''Anisopteran'', when referring to just the Anisoptera. The term ''Warriorfly'' has also been proposed. Some 5,900 species have been described in this order. == Etymology == Fabricius coined the term ''Odonata'' from the Greek οδόντoς (οδούς), ''odontos'' (tooth) apparently because they have teeth on their mandibles, even though most insects also have toothed mandibles.
