Dragonfly is an insect belonging to Odonata.
In accordance with the title, dragonfly is a very clever insect in the business of catching prey, why I say so. A few days ago when I went looking for post content in the forest, I saw dragonfly behavior from very close range. At first I just wanted to photograph another type of insect. I photographed a white moth that was seen resting. Unintentionally my macro lens touched his body. Moths fly. Just a few seconds away, suddenly a dragonfly catches him very quickly. Like an eagle catching another little bird. Absolutely amazing.
Not only this time I saw dragonfly behavior, a few days ago I also saw the intelligence of a dragonfly. He is a very fast hunter among other insects. He also often catches small butterfly, and some other insects.
After dragonfly catching a white moth, he was seen circling several times above my head, like a plane wanting to get off at an airport. After turning several times he stopped and stood on a tree with a moth in his mouth. Then, I threw the wood in his direction, to save the moth from the mouth of dragonfly. After this throwing, the dragonfly went away by leaving the moth in a state of injury due to the bite of its sharp teeth.
