These are merely a few of the features
of dragonflies, described very briefly.
Suppose that any one of these features of the dragonfly,
say the particular type of wings, did not exist. Could this in-
sect then make sudden maneuvers and catch its prey? Or, if
it did not have eyes that enabled it to see in every direction, could it man-
age to escape from its enemies?
The absence of any of the systems that a dragonfly possesses will give rise
to a dysfunction of other systems. Yet, the dragonfly was created com-
pletely with all of its systems. Allah created the dragonfly perfect, like all
other creatures, and it is thanks to Allah's creation that this insect lives at
ease.
