- Amongst Native Americans, it is a sign of happiness, speed and purity. Purity because the dragonfly eats from the wind itself
- To the Japanese, it symbolizes summer and autumn and am admired and respected all over, so much so that the Samurai use it as a symbol of power, agility and best of all, Victory.
