Longest Insect Migration: 11,000 Miles From the Maldives to Africa and Back!

In Uganda, they appear twice each year in March or April and again in September, while further south in Tanzania and Mozambique they appear in December and January.
That strongly suggest that the dragonflies take advantage of the moving weather systems and monsoon rains to complete an epic migration from southern India to east and southern Africa, and then likely back again, a round trip of 14,000 to 18,000km.

Wow I never realised dragonflies actually did migration - or is this a specific species of dragonflies. Living in Asia, where it's always warm, I see dragonflies all year round. And I thought dragonflies didn't have very long lives. But this is definitely interesting fact. Thanks for the post!
