A dragonfly is an insect belonging to the order Odonata, infraorder Anisoptera from Greek ἄνισος anisos, `unequal` and πτεÏόν patron, `wing`, because the hind wing is broader than the fore wing. Adult dragonflies are characterized by large, multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong, transparent wings, sometimes with colored patches, and an elongated body.
