The text states that a dragonfly has a lifespan of 6 months.
Infact verdict: Mixed (52/100).
The claim that a dragonfly has a lifespan of 6 months is partially accurate but misleading. According to the British Dragonfly Society, the adult stage of a dragonfly is typically short, lasting only a few weeks. However, the entire lifespan, including the nymph stage, can span several months to a few years depending on the species and environmental conditions. Therefore, while the adult stage is brief, the overall lifespan can be longer than 6 months.
