    Dragonflies are strong fliers with fairly robust bodies and they have wings that are broad near the base; at rest the wings are held out to the side.

    In the class Insecta (insects), in the infraorder Anisoptera (dragonflies), [1] genus Hemaris (bee hawk-moths) [a] [2] and order Diptera (true flies), species with this ability can be also found.

    They are ambush predators, waiting on a prominent perch - such as a leaf or the top of a gate, until prey fly past, whereupon they will fly after it.
