When a dragonfly flutters by, you may not realize, but it's the greatest flier in nature. It can hover, fly backwards, even upside down.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The dragonfly is an exceptionally beautiful insect and a fierce carnivore. It has four wings that beat independently. This gives it an ability to maneuver in the air with superb dexterity. A dragonfly can put on a burst of speed, stop on a dime, hover, fly backward, and switch direction in a flash. This is a hunting behavior known as hawking.
I think being a dragon would be pretty awesome... you get to fly.
I've always been fascinated by everything with wings.
If you watch a fly on, say, a coffee table, you'll see that they're rubbing their little legs together to groom themselves; they're actually quite clean creatures.
When you see a fly flitting around your hair or your potato salad, you might see an annoyance. But in my lab, you really see a marvelous machine: arguably the most sophisticated flying device on the planet.
Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
We all fly. Once you leave the ground, you fly. Some people fly longer than others.
Although their maneuverability is limited, blind flies can fly remarkably well.
When a trout rises to a fly, it does not swim as much as tilt its fins and jet skyward.
This dragonfly came up to me. He was hovering right in front of my face, and I was really examining him, thinking, How does he see me? I became enlightened.
