Dragonflies: Water Angels and Brilliant Bioindicators

Illustrated by Mauro Magellan

Dragonflies might be one of the most ancient of all insects—their ancestors were here before the dinosaurs. But what do we know about them? Why are they called dragonflies? What’s up with those funny-looking eyes? Can they really fly backwards? What does it mean to be a bioindicator? The answers are inside, with photos of these beautiful insects and friendly cartoons.
