Facts About Dragonfly Wings and Vision
Dragonflies are among the fastest flying insects in the world, capable of moving in six different directions including backwards and upside down. Their massive compound eyes consist of thousands of individual lenses, giving them nearly a three-hundred-sixty-degree field of view. Dragonfly wings operate independently, allowing the insect to hover stationary in midair over damp vegetation.
