There's something magical about seeing a dragonfly darting between the flowers on a spring or summer day. They are a pretty aerial specialist with their jewel-like colors and ability to fly backward.

The dragonfly is one of the oldest insect species. They also represent air and water since their larvae often hatch out of water. In many tales, they symbolize wisdom, communications from the elements, adaptation, insight, and transformations.

In Japan, dragonflies bring good fortune. One name for Japan is  Akitsushima - 'The Island of the Dragonfly.' Its curved shape is believed to resemble a dragonfly at rest. 

In China, they represent harmony, good luck, and prosperity. The Chinese believe that the dragonfly is the soul of a dragon.

Native American folklore also suggests that dragonflies were originally dragons. However, a coyote tricked a dragon into shapeshifting, and it couldn't change back. As a result, the dragonfly symbolizes change, speed, and illusion.

They are also associated with warriors. For example, the ancient Egyptians represented dragonflies in papyrus scenes about battles. Warriors admired the speed and darting movements of the dragonflies and wished to emulate them.
