The image you've provided is a
life cycle diagram of a dragonfly, and it appears to be an educational worksheet or template. The task seems to involve
arranging the stages of the dragonfly's life cycle in the correct order.
Let’s break down what we see:
Elements in the Image:
1.
Title: "Life cycle of a dragonfly"
2.
Two large boxes on the sides:
- Left: A drawing of an
adult dragonfly (wings, long body).
- Right: A drawing of a
dragonfly laying eggs (likely an adult female).
3.
Four empty boxes in the center — these are meant to be filled with the correct sequence of life stages.
4.
Four labeled images at the bottom:
-
Eggs
-
Nymph
-
Molting
-
Adult Dragonfly
---
Step-by-Step Solution:
We need to arrange the
four stages in the correct
order of the dragonfly’s life cycle.
#### Life Cycle Stages of a Dragonfly:
1.
Eggs → laid by the adult female in water.
2.
Nymph (larva) → hatches from the egg and lives in water; eats other small aquatic creatures.
3.
Molting → the nymph undergoes several molts as it grows, eventually leaving the water.
4.
Adult Dragonfly → emerges from the final molt and becomes a flying adult.
So, the correct sequence is:
>
Eggs → Nymph → Molting → Adult Dragonfly

How to Complete the Worksheet:
You should place the four labeled pictures into the
four empty boxes in the following order from
left to right:
1.
Eggs
2.
Nymph
3.
Molting
4.
Adult Dragonfly
This matches the natural progression of the dragonfly’s development.

Final Answer:
Sequence of the life cycle:
1. Eggs
2. Nymph
3. Molting
4. Adult Dragonfly
Place these labels (or their corresponding drawings) in the central boxes from left to right.
✔ This completes the life cycle diagram correctly.
