Dragonfly Speed

The book delves into the biomechanics of dragonfly flight, their visual and neural adaptations for hunting, and their ecological role. It reveals how their wing structure, muscle physiology, and sensory systems contribute to their remarkable speed and maneuverability. By analyzing high-speed video recordings and neurological studies, Dragonfly Speed demonstrates the link between the dragonfly's physical adaptations and hunting success.

The book progresses through the basic biology of dragonflies, the mechanics of their flight, and their sensory systems, concluding with their role in ecosystems and conservation challenges.
