Anisoptera

/ˌænɪˈsoʊptərə/ noun

Definition

An order of insects commonly known as dragonflies, characterized by their two pairs of wings that are of different sizes or shapes.

Etymology

From Greek 'anisos' (unequal) + 'pteron' (wing). This taxonomic term describes dragonflies' distinctive asymmetrical wing arrangement.

Kelly Says

Dragonflies are absolute aerial acrobats with their 'unequal' front and back wings working together to pull off impossible moves—they can hover, fly backward, and even fly upside down better than any other insect!
