The following comment is from - http://www.dragonfly-site.com/
One of Nature’s most intriguing and fascinating insects, and the subject of mankind’s most sublime and ridiculous myths and mythologies, the dragonfly darts around going about its business as usual, blissfully unaware and oblivious to the interest it has generated in us. And perhaps thankfully for us because if the dragonfly were to understand that we have called it the “Devils darning needle” and “gwas-y-neidr” or the Adder’s Servant, it could laugh long and hard at us…and considering the dragonfly has been around for over 300 million years, it could be a really, really long laugh.
The primary fascination that humans have had with dragonflies is because:
- Of its ability to seek out pure water
- Of its ability to Reflect multiple colors with changing angles of light
- Of its awe inspiring flight and speed
- Of its ability to almost single handedly control insect populations
- Of its ability to adapt to change with indescribable ease
- Of the way it lives out its adult life, living each moment to the fullest.
