Dragonfly head. Colured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Dragonflies belong to the scientific order Odonata,meaning "toothed ones," because of the powerful serrated jaws. Dragonfly jaws can open as wide as their entire head,allowing them to eat large prey. When they hunt the large compound eyes of a dragonfly allow it to sort its visual field,like a grid. Keeping their prey in the same section of the grid helps with accuracy when intercept something mid-flight. Magnification: x10 when printed at 10 centimetres wide | |
