How Fast Is Dragonfly?

Dragonflies fly at 54 km/h and have a 95% predation success rate — the highest of any predator. They can fly backwards, sideways, even upside-down, with each of their four wings independently controllable.

Dragonfly larvae live underwater for years — sometimes longer than their adult flying form will. They start as fierce aquatic predators.

• Slightly slower than a greyhound sprinting
• Highest hunt success rate of any predator
