Perfect Landing by Brown Dragonfly

How does a dragonfly land on a slender shrub terminal ? Just observe its landing. The wings are very efficient, can steer towards many directions and also slowing down. When its lands, the wings are spread horizontally and the legs are bended to make sure the body is balanced. Slowly, it wings fold down, which I believe stabilise or lock its position on the shrub.
