Dragonfly

Dragonfly  is mainly freshwater insect and lives near shallow lakes. Their bodies were long and tapered, sometimes the thickness of needle, and the colors and patterns vary from family to family. From a clear blue through red and green with brown freckles to yellow. Their legs are long and jagged, and eye complex, made up of more than 30,000 vacant eyes.

Thanks to this structure of the eye, vision is clear to them in rapid flight, which is very important because the Dragonfly is among the recorders throughout the animal world. Above the water is moving at a speed of 30 km / h. However, over shorter distances can develop a speed of over 90 kilometers per hour. Entomologists say the Dragonfly to reach speeds of as much as 135 kilometers per hour. It feeds mainly mosquitoes, but is able to catch a butterfly or a fly. There are also harmful species whose larvae in water devour the small fishes.
