Do you know why dragonflies are still around today?

Hi Hiveans ... Meeting me again, in this very simple blog


Basically the dragonfly is a flying insect species that is very unique when compared to other species, although each species has its own advantage saya and disadvantages.

There are so many unique things that can be seen from this one species, but from the many advantages, there are several things that attract my own attention when I see every movement that comes from it.

Of course, this uniqueness is based on the background that already exists in every part of his body, with a reliable body part facilitator, a perfect character is embedded in a certain part.

Those great things, seen when they each use everything in their bodies, and seen when they carry out a goal in daily missions. The beauty is that when they want to achieve something, it turns out that they have prepared everything to support it, including calculating everything. All right, let's see together.

Smart in counting when catching prey

Basically, we all know that when the creature comes to this planet earth, of course it must be intelligent to maintain its life, one of which is very clearly seen to be able to scavenge any food to be used as feed. Then when the food is there, his life will automatically continue to be on the profitable side.

Then, why do dragonflies continue to exist in this world, without having to become extinct, even though history says dragonflies have existed for a long time, this is evidenced by several discoveries of the bodies of their ancestors which are estimated to be millions of years

Even in the discovery it was seen, dragonflies and lizards were doing an act of fighting that died simultaneously. For more details you can see in this link sumber

Well, it is clear in his life, dragonflies always manage to get their prey easily without having to try harder in achieving a mission.

Their success in getting each target is considered successful, they even often have a satisfactory rating in getting a prey. Of course, he has the right equipment in his body.

Perfect tools coupled with intelligence it is this state that makes them continue to exist in this world.

Have you ever noticed a dragonfly while stalking a victim?

It turns out that when the dragonflies are dealing with their prey of choice, it can be seen that their presence with the location of the prey can be said to be a bit far away or about a few meters, it turns out that this is only being done by measuring the distance of the location at the target point with its flying speed. Uniquely, the distance is estimated not only for the capture location but also for measuring the distance when the victim escapes. When it has been calculated in detail, the victim's steps will automatically be locked even though it rotates in any direction.

I myself often see insect species that have wings, when they want to be disturbed, most of them do not immediately run forward, but raise their bodies first to the surface (species strength level) then they run either sideways or to the right. Well... This is where this movement is read by the dragonfly, so when the dragonfly wants to pounce on its prey, it takes the upper path because they know the character.

Even if there is an error in the upper path (sometimes the prey slips down), then the dragonfly will find it easier to reach the victim's body by pouncing with the legs and then bringing it to the jaw, and this is where the seconds of mutilation occur even though it is flying, at least the prey lives halfway, because the prey's vital body parts have been severed.

Strong jaws and agile wings with fast rotation, automatically prey can be reached easily, because each prey only relies on less fast flight.

While their unique eyes can also monitor the opposite direction or they are able to roll their compound eyes about 280°.

Even though they are in a winning position or have succeeded in catching prey, the eyeballs are always alert to anticipate other predators who also eat them. In simple terms it can be said that they are able to carry out ambushes while protecting themselves from the ambush of other predatory animals.

It's as if they know and also make sure that every movement he makes, whether he is hunting or resting, never escapes the attitude and anticipation and alertness, this is felt in his every move from both other predators and fellow members of the group.

Supported by special body parts (great), and also coupled with an intelligent instinct in counting, this is where they look great and the population survives to this day.

So that humans themselves also often adopt parts of their bodies and characters as an example of a tool that humans use, one of which is an air transportation vehicle either for travel or to carry out a mission.

Although I myself have praised every advantage it has, there are also some shortcomings that are tucked into its body, so this deficiency is also used by other predators in reaching its body as daily food. However, this explanation will be discussed in the next meeting. Thanks very much.
