When I heard about these dragonflies, I went to check them out right away. They are an endangered species and noted in the red data list. Who knows when and where I get the chance to see them again. The white "flags" on their legs make it easy to follow them when they fly. They look so funny!

And Miyamakawatombo, ミヤマカワトンボ whose appearance can change drastically within a second
After a frogless spring I was happy to meet
