Shadowgraph of a dragonfly, Aeschna palmata. The slender body and intricate wing venation of the dragonfly reflect millions of years of evolutionary pressures. Such structures support remarkable aerodynamic agility. Unsteady, separated fluid mechanisms appear to produce the high lift needed for this agility. See page 1326.
