Dragonfly nymphs molt (shed their skin) up to 12 times, depending on species, and can spend as long as four years as nymphs. Dragonflies living in tropical regions spend less time in the nymph form while dragonflies living in temperate regions will spend longer as nymphs as the onset of winter delays maturation.
