Holding it's breath at the tip: The Dragonfly
If you don't know the name of the insect show in above pic , it's called Dragonfly. I don't who was the man who suggested the name dragon for this insect. I don't even how this insect looks like a dragon but it has great characterstics which makes it different and peculiar from other insects.
Belonging to the archnoida family of insecta , this type of fly are mostly found in grassland . You might want to know how come this insect is peculiar from others . Here are the reason:
Dragon fly catch their prey with their hind legs and it is reported that they have 95% accuracy while catching the prey.
During summer season, one of their favourite prey is mosquito. So , they also help to reduce mosquito population
They can fly forward, backward or hover around somewhere thanks to the great feathers.
They also have gills. Might be for respiration while in water . I dont know exactly what they are used for.
They have large eyes and 7 teeth .
It is to believed that they were large in Paleozoic area but because of survival of existence, they have to reduce their size so that they can eat less and live more 😀.
There are many amazing insects out in the world. We might don't even know the name of most but when when we read about them, it's always interesting to know about them. Hope you liked my article about the Dragonfly.
