DESCRIPTION:Dragonflies are among the most skilful and spectacular of all 
 flying insects\, and are also among the earliest to appear in the fossil r
 ecord. Superficial resemblences between Palaeozoic fossils and modern form
 s make them favourites for creationists wishing to demonstrate that evolut
 ion is a myth.  On the contrary detailed examination of the mechanics of t
 heir wings and the adaptive significance of changes in their structure thr
 ough time provides excellent evidence of 300 million years of progressive 
 refinement and improvement on a broad front\, probably reflecting increasi
 ng flight agility in the prey on which they depend.
