               The dragonfly also has perfect sight. Its two wraparound eyes are
          regarded as the best in the insect world. Each eye consists of up to
          30,000 separate lenses. These eyes, each of which is semi-spherical and
          covers half of its head, provide a very wide field of vision—the drag-
          onfly can even see what is going on behind it. 3
               As you see, the dragonfly’s various systems constitute a perfect
          whole. The slightest deficiency in any one will cause the others to
          cease functioning. Yet since they have all been created flawlessly, the
          insect has thrived for millions of years.
