Spot-winged Glider in pursuit of prey

Not a great shot, but it shows how a dragonfly can roll its body while keeping its head level.

This male Spot-winged Glider has banked sharply in order to pursue flying prey (visible, above); his
head remains parallel to the ground while his thorax and abdomen are rotated almost 90 degrees.
