To say the truth, I even doubted that the insect in a triangle was really a
dragonfly. It has longer legs than ones I see in Japan. In ancient years we
Japanese called our land " a land of dragonfly" and when we draw
dragonflies we usually omit the legs behind the torso.
Now I know it is a dragonfly . But I cannot believe that not only we who
were not well-fed when young but also Japanese dragonflies have shorter
legs .
