Antibacterial Activity of Neurothemis ramburii Wings against Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus

Dragonfly is categorized as the most excellent nature flyers which have wings that exhibit excellent functional characteristic through morphology, configuration, structure, and material. Dragonfly has nanostructured wings which are important to organisms as self-adaptation and survival tools. Wings...
