Labellulid nymphs were found to predate on Ae. aegypti larvae and pupae readily. The rate of consumption was found to be 133 +/- 21 all stages of larvae per medium size nymph per 24 hours. In container habitats complete elimination of all larvae and pupae were achieved between day 4 and 9 depending on density of aquatic stages. The dragonfly nymphs as predators could be used in biological control of Aedes mosquitoes.
