===============================
A dragonfly is any insect belonging to the order Odonata, the suborder Epiprocta or, in the strict sense, the infraorder Anisoptera. It is characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong transparent wings, and an elongated body.
Dragonflies have excellent eyesight and their compound eyes have up to 30,000 facets, each of which is a separate light-sensing organ or ommatidium, arranged to give nearly a 360° field of vision.
It was recently discovered that dragonflies employ a particular optical illusion, termed motion camouflage, to stalk other insects that invade their territory. It was suggested that a dragonfly can move in such a way as to project itself as a stationary object while speedily attacking its victims thus illustrating how dragonflies use complex camouflaging techniques during aerial combat. Dragonflies typically eat mosquitoes, midges and other small insects like flies, bees, and butterflies.
Therefore, they are valued predators and can be breed to control the population of dengue carrier mosquitoes.
