    Dragonflies. An efficient and time-tested model. Basic morphology that’s remained unchanged since long before the extinction of the dinosaurs. Phenomenal creatures whose legacy survived 250 million years.

      Tremendously efficient - do I recall the dragonfly being the most effective predator, where effective is defined as highest proportion of successful hunts?
