Good day guys...
Of course you are very familiar with one of these insect species, because it's very often found around us, I think it's also found everywhere, both tropical countries or tropical soups in other countries, except on the Antarctic continent because the temperature is too cold. So that the body of the dragonfly is very difficult to adapt to this environment.
In Indonesia alone, dragonflies are very easy to find and the population is classified as large, it is found anywhere whether in the forest, rural areas, cities, and even in the mountains themselves they can still be found easily.
Dragonflies themselves have a variety of species with different colors and shapes but basically they are almost the same. Different dragonflies themselves are still grouped in the same order, even though they have different shapes and colors and patterns.
A. Physical and body shape
Even though dragonflies are different from other species, they are still classified as insects because they have, head, thorax, legs, wings and other body parts that are also found in other types of insects.
1. Eye
Dragonflies have two eyes that are the same located on the face, their eyes almost cover most of the head or larger than normal eyes, because when compared with the body, the eyes are bigger. Experts say that the two dragonfly eyes themselves are a combination of 30,000 aspects, so with their advantages they can see / rotate with a size of 380 degrees in one opinion say 360 degrees.
So that with the uniqueness and perfection of the eye he is able to see the smallest insects at a certain distance, and he can also predict where the opponent or prey moves and moves when they are about to be pounced.
2. Head and jaw
Dragonflies have a unique head compared to the heads of other types of insects, because in the face area there are jagged jaws, according to research results get a very strong molar, so it can tear every insect's body in its prey, you can also try it in your own hands, when he bit into the skin of your hand and will show signs of sharp jaw marks.
When he finds a prey, he will fly and in his escape he can tear the victim's body with his own technique, so that the victim himself does not move and will die.
3. The wings
Nearly 99% of insect species have wings, although different, but in essence used to fly when the circumstances require it, but sometimes some species rarely use it because it is deemed not necessary.
Likewise with dragonflies, but dragonfly wings themselves really need it which is always used in daily activities. The wings have always been the main for dragonflies, although their wings are fragile and transparent, but the speed of flight is very fast.
As the insect experts say, that the speed of flying dragonflies,
this wing can make dragonflies fly up to 50 kilometers / hour.
Speed of flying like that is able to deceive the victim in hunting for prey, so the victim is made unable to escape and in the end the victim is arrested.
Then in addition to dexterity in reliable flight he was also able to maneuver on the side of the opponent's weakness so that the victim was deceived by dragonfly movements, he was also very smart in deceiving victims when predicting the opponent's flight steps or steps to escape.
Dragonfly's body is small, but it is feared by other insects. If we conclude, we can say that it is a species of insect that is very adept at hunting.
Every target that has been predicted by the dragonfly, so he always succeeded.
Thus a brief review of the discussion of the uniqueness of dragonflies that are not possessed by other insect species. Hopefully what has been said is useful for all of us. Thank you very much.
