In addition to beautiful and look attractive, Dragonflies are animals that have the ability to fly very extraordinary. Only a few other creatures are able to compete with flying ability.

Dragonflies have a pair of wings with muscles between head and stomach that can move in different directions. This structure allows them to change their respective wing angles and display exceptional flying dexterity.

In addition, dragonflies also have remarkable vision. Dragonflies have compound eyes, so they can monitor the surroundings well. Especially in hunting prey.

Behind the attractive appearance, dragonflies are lethal predators. The success of dragonflies in hunting reached 90 percent. With fly speed and motor sensors in his eyes, Dragonflies can easily take into account the speed of the prey.

The way the dragonfly hunts its prey is by intercepting it in the air. After getting the prey, dragonflies will tear it with their feet and jaws. Dragonflies have very strong jaw muscles.

Hmm .. How about Steemian, you definitely do not think if the dragonflies are interesting and look beautiful, it could be a creepy monster for other animals.

Thanks for sharing your research on the dragon fly. I am also very fond of them and appreciate that their diet includes mosquitoes! I like the sound of their wings in flight too.
