A Courageous Insect
The dragonfly is a species like no other, with its large eyes, two sets of powerful wings, an athlete’s body, and a healthy appetite for mosquitoes. Known to the English as the “devil’s darning needle,” the insect is also associated by the Japanese with courage, happiness, and strength. Albright wore a dragonfly when she wanted her adversaries to wonder what on Earth she had in mind.
