namaste, I have not come across a single word for �dragonfly� in Sanskrit -- 
even the word �dragonfly� itself is, strictly, 'dragon' + 'fly'. However, on 
similar lines, we can coin a word like
sapaksha-naaga-makshikaa (since it flies, I believe), or, simply, 
naaga-makshikaa.

Dragon can be rendered as naaga, vyaala, sapaksho naaga, etc.
