Info:

#In Japan, dragonflies bring good fortune. The dragonfly often appears in haiku poetry, representing strength and happiness. The red dragonfly is thought of as sacred.

Bon Festival, a Japanese Buddhist tradition involving the ancestors’ spirits.
During this festival in mid-August, the spirits return to visit the living. Around the same time, thousands of dragonflies appear. It led to a belief that returning ancestral spirits rode the dragonflies like winged mounts. Others believed the dragonflies were the souls themselves.
During Bon, children aren’t allowed to bother dragonflies (catching them is normally a game).
People welcome the insects into the home, allowing the ancestors to temporarily rejoin the family.

#Over 150 different folk names exist for dragonflies in Germany. These include Teufelsnadel (“Devil’s needle”), Wasserhexe (“Water witch”), and Teufelspferd (“Devil’s horse”)

In the German origin story, a vicious princess rode around her kingdom with merry abandon. One day, she encountered a small man who tried to speak to her. She ordered him to get out of her way. He didn’t listen so she rode over him. The little man cursed her to always be joined to her horse. She and her horse became one, transformed into the dragonfly.

#One of the Romanian tales has the Devil trying to cross a lake. A fisherman refuses to carry him in his boat, so the Devil adopts the form of a winged insect to fly across.
He takes the form we now know as a dragonfly, and hence dragonflies exist.

In Europe, dragonflies often end up associated with the devil or black magic. But the equal number of positive tales about dragonflies suggest an ability for people to create their own myths and beliefs.
