Dragonfly
I saw a big blue dragonfly in our garden yesterday morning. It was resting quietly on a rose.
The first time I saw some small turquoise or emerald blue dragonflies, at the nature researve in the UK, I felt as if I was in dreamland. They were so beautiful. I had never seen such beautiful dragonflies.
However, dragonflies remind me of my childhood. The largest species of dragonfly native to Japan is called 'Oniyanma' or 'Anotogaster sieboldii'. According to Wikipedia, it can grow 95-100mm length. When I was a child, my sister and I chased dragonflies, butterflies, other insects or frogs while holding a butterfly net, in our grandparents' garden. The garden was surrounded by my grandparents' own mountain.
