Like us, dragon flies have two eyes, but there are constructed very differently. Each eye is an enormous, bulging sphere, and surface of which covered with tiny lenses. Depending on the species, there may be as many as thirty thousand of these lenses on a single eye, each one occupying a physical space slightly different from open that adjacent lenses, giving it a unique perspective. Information from these thousands of unique perspectives flows into the dragonfly’s brain where it is synthesized into vision so superb that the dragonfly can see in almost every direction simultaneously, with the clarity and precision it needs to pick off flying inspect at high speed. ` Page 77
