"Pantala flavescens, also known as the Wide Belly Dragonfly, is a common type of dragonfly found in Japan. It is characterized by its wide belly which is white or light blue in males and brown in females. The dragonfly is a symbol of good luck in Japan, as they never go back. With a history spanning over 200 million years, dragonflies are older than dinosaurs. They are associated with autumn and are considered harbingers of the season in Japan."
