Trivia[]
- Despite not being a true dragonfly but rather a damselfly, flame-tipped jewel DNA can be used to activate Dragonfly Powers.
- Dragonfly Power is the first insect Creature Power to appear in Wild Kratts, and the second Creature Power to appear overall.
- The Dragonfly Power Suit has shifted in design throughout the show's run. In "Mom of a Croc", the suit lacks the dragonfly's basket legs which are used to capture prey. In the episodes, "Osprey" and "Mosquito Dragon", the suit highly resembles its season 1 counterpart, only with the basket legs added. However, in "Back in Creature Time", "Search for the Florida Panther", and Box Turtled In!", the suit's design has a drastic change, the most noticeable features being differently structured goggles, no glove attachments, and different markings on the power suit itself.
- In the Aviva's Powersuit Maker game on the Wild Kratts website, the Dragonfly Power Suit retains its original design.
