You’re Being Reminded to Enjoy the Present Moment
With the dragonfly’s short life span and need-for-speed, seeing dragonflies reminds us to enjoy the present moment. Too often, we worry about the next task on our to-do list or about how we need to be a ‘Martha’. Let the dragonfly’s presence remind you to stay fully present and to engage with who you’re with and what you’re doing right now.
The dragonfly is a plus in your garden as it feeds on mosquito larvae and other pest insects. The beautiful insects with their iridescent wings evoke a sense of wonder and enchanting mystical magic. These tiny dragonflies emerge as messengers of rebirth and renewal—so if you frequently spot them, expect new beginnings, adaptability and personal transformation.
