This dragonfly, known for its blue and black colours and nearly transparent wings, can fly at speeds of up to 35 mph. Though often targeted by hummingbirds, its exceptional eyesight helps it escape predators.

These insects, commonly found throughout North America, use their long, beak-like stingers to inject a substance that liquefies their prey's insides, making them easier to consume.

Their calls can be heard from more than a quarter-mile away, reaching up to 120 dB, comparable to the noise level of a nightclub or a jackhammer at 50 feet.

Native to Australia and New Zealand, this species can grow up to 20 inches long, including its limbs. The stick insect family consists of over 3,000 species, some of which possess wings and can fly.

Defying the common notion of insects as small, the Goliath Beetle, part of the Scarab family from Africa, can reach four inches in length and weigh more than 3 ounces. In the wild, they consume protein and decaying plants, while in captivity, they are often kept as pets and readily eat pet food.
