The dragonfly, with its delicate, fine line depictions and gossamer thin yet opalescent WINGS and body, is a frequent insect subject of tattoo art, symbolic of swift activity according to some Native American groups. To the Chinese, the dragonfly is a symbol of summer but also of instability. To the Japanese, the dragonfly means quite a bit more. In fact, an old name for Japan, Akitsu-shimu, means `Dragonfly Island." There the dragonfly was good luck, a sign of a good harvest, and used as a symbol for warrior clans and emperors alike.
