Dragonfly

Dragonflies, an amazing and unique insect, are from the order Odonata and the Anisoptera suborder. The attractive characteristic of this creature is the multifaceted large eyes, an elongated body and four transparent and strong wings, with colored markings. Dragonflies can fly in any direction, including sideways and backward, and can hover in a single spot for a minute or more. This amazing ability is one factor in their success as aerial ambush predators
