Dragonfly
A dragonfly is a double winged insect belonging to the order Odonata, the suborder Epiprocta or, in the strict sense, the infraorder Anisoptera (from Greek ανισος anisos, "uneven" + πτερος pteros, "wings", due the hindwing being broader than the forewing). It is characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong transparent wings, and an elongated body. Dragonflies are similar to damselflies,
but the adults can be differentiated by the fact that the wings of most
dragonflies are held away from, and perpendicular to, the body when at
rest. Dragonflies possess six legs (like any other insect), but most of
them cannot walk well. Dragonflies are some of the fastest insects in
the world.
