Hunting Dragon Flies
A gnat, mosquito, or other little creature will find dragonflies to be downright terrifying if they are near them. They don't just go after their victim and kill them. Instead, they ambush them from the air, using precise aerial ambushes to capture them. In order to intercept prey, dragonflies must estimate the speed and trajectory of the prey target and change their flight accordingly. Hunting success rates might reach up to 95% for them, demonstrating their exceptional competence.
