Dragonfly

  Dragonfly is a generic term, referring to a group of insects with large, multifaceted eyes, two pairs of transparent wings and an elongated abdomen. Dragonflies are not to be confused with damsel flies. Although dragonflies have six legs they do not walk well, preferring to hover instead. They are some of the fastest insects in the world. They are predators preying on small insects such as mosquitoes, flies, bees, ants, and very rarely, butterflies.
  They are usually found near lakes, streams, rivers, and ponds as their larvae, nymphs, are aquatic. In general, large dragonflies have a maximum speed of 10-15 meters per second or 22-34 miles per hour. They have an average cruising speed of 4.5 meters per second or 10 miles per hour.
