Dragonfly

12047, Merck Family's Old World Christmas

Mouth blown, hand painted glass Christmas Ornament. Dragonfly in shades of blue, green, gold and white. Measures 2 3/4"

The Dragonfly can fly both forwards and backwards, hover, and make sudden turns. With its quick darting movements, the Dragonfly appears to be a living flash of light. It is the state insect of Alaska because its flying is reminiscent of the skillful bush pilots' maneuvers.
