Now where did they get the idea for this manmade Dragonfly?
It is said that Sikorsky designed the helicopter by placing the structure of a dragonfly into a computer and then working off the structure of a dragonfly to build a Helicopter. This chopper headed directly towards me and I snapped it moments before it passed overhead. For more information about the design, kindly visit this site;

Let's have a look at the real thing!
Imagine building a flying machine on the design of this little pre-historic wonder!
I would like to know which of the species they used for the design of the helicopter?
Was it the Blue Skimmer, or the Scarlet Wanderer or perhaps the Blue Emperor above that acted as the blueprint for the design of the chopper?
I know that flight always dominated mankind's mind and that we got that from the birds in nature and I also know that apart from a million other things, mankind also learnt how to plant and grow food from nature. Mother nature was and still is a wonderful tutor to mankind and lately it appears that we are all, or almost all, trying to destroy her.
Plastic oceans and bare forests are the payback rewards for all that she has freely done for us!
Why then do I not feel proud of mankind?

We adapt many ideas from what is around us, just in larger proportion. Still think the originals are more beautiful, less noisy and far more efficient! Have a wonderful weekend out and about @papilloncharity
Totally agreed Lady Joan, nothing like the originals. Hope your weekend is also good thus far! Blessings!
@papilloncharity, Thank you for the collection of these dragonflies. These insects always surprise me with such a variety of colors and shades, but my favorite is red :)
Thank you and they are prehistoric insects Lady Madlen and the ones that existed at the beginning was very much bigger. I love their flying skills and you are right, as their colors are dazzling! Blessings!
Nive collection and wonderful colour from dragonfly sir @papilloncharity. I usual find the red one.

Nothing new under the sun! We get all of our good ideas from the Creator.
