Let's see the anatomical beauty of a dragonfly closely.

When opened his mouth, there was a very scary jaw. The mouth is adapted for biting with a toothed jaw.

Six pairs of long legs and spikes, but feet are rarely used for walking, but are used to catch and hold prey, for perching, and for climbing on plants.

Have complicated neck muscles which allow them to tilt their head sideways, back and down, and has two large compound eyes which take up most of its head, engulf the head and see in virtually all directions.

Their bodies are long and slender, have long delicate membranous wings which are transparent. Each wing, controlled by its own flight muscles, moves independently, when the dragonfly so chooses, allowing amazing manoeuvrability.

I was forced to hold the dragonfly, without holding it so impossible to get the picture so close.

😀 It is very difficult to get a picture of dragonflies, he is very agile. Fought patiently to get it.

They don't like to stay in one place for long, either.

Yaps, they prefer to fly, looking for prey from one place to another.

Fantastic. Thank you for sharing the images. I love insects :)

Ah you could easily write some funny memes for the images ;)
