OP, ever since I learned more about them, and dug deeper into the mechanics of their flight, they became my favorite. I am an aircraft mechanic and have a history with fighter jets. These are incredible creatures. The individual control over their wings combined with their flight intelligence gives them the ability to fly in literally any direction and high speed, stop on a dime, and go the opposite way. Helicopters are a coughing baby in a mud pit comparatively. Their wings are corrugated because their method of kill is to slam into other bugs at crazy speeds then chomp them to bits. The corrugation means they can be folded, slammed, bent any which way and always reform. It also creates air pockets for better aerodynamics. Their eyes wrap up and around their head, allowing for a near full sphere of vision.
They also are found on every continent, in every metallic color, and have been tracked migrating across the atlatic because they fuckin felt like it.
I will never not stop to watch the best hunter on the planet fly by me. I work on an airport, and they are the best pilots around.
