Amazing Details In Nature

D1 D2 D3 D4

Dragon Fly’s are amazing, they are this fairly large flying insect, and they don’t sting or bite you, they simply make a rather odd sound as they buzz around looking beautiful!  Their wings are incredible though, seeing the beauty in their detail.  Here are a couple of interesting facts if found out about these little creatures:

A bee flaps its wings about 300 times per second, but a dragonfly flaps its wings at only about 30 beats per second. (fact, dragonflies have two sets of wings so they don’t have to beat them as much to fly.)

A dragonfly’s eyes have about 30,000 lenses and a dragonfly can see all the way around it, but they don’t see details very well. (fact, a human eye only has one lens and sees better than a dragonfly, but only to the front and side of them.)
