I need help with a French word
I need to know how to say, dragonfly, in French. I found the word, insect, in my small French dictionary, but wanted to know the specific word for dragonfly.

"libellule" (per BabelFish) is it correct? Call the nearest French Embassy.

Une libellule. It's a feminine noun.

Or call the US Embassy or the British, Australian, or Singaporean High Commision the next time you aren't sure of an English word.
