Five 62 cent Dragonfly postage stamps
Scott No.: 4267

The dragonfly is one of the oldest insects in the world. It first inhabited Earth up to 300 million years ago.

Adults are characterized by two pairs of transparent wings, short antennae, and an elongated body. Excellent eyesight, the result of two eyes made of thousands of six-sided units, allows the dragonfly to detect even the smallest movement. Fierce jaws, from which they get their name, and spiked legs, all make the dragonfly a deadly predator of mosquitoes, gnats, and bees. This ability earns the dragonfly the nickname “mosquito hawk.”

Viewed as sinister in some cultures, dragonflies represent courage, strength, and happiness in Japan, and renewal after hardship for some Native Americans.

Also good to use for scrapbooking or displaying in a small picture frame. It's a miniature work of art.
