Not doing very much
A Dragonfly has 6 legs. It can perch but csnnot walk. They use their legs as baskets for captuing insects
It buzzes by flapping its wings up to 1,600 times a minute and have as many as 30000 lenses in each eye
The larger ones can trave lup  to 36km/h and are armless to humen beings
