The banded dragonfly (オニヤンマ, Oniyanma) is an insect found in all of the Animal Crossing series games. It is rare, faster and difficult to capture. In Animal Crossing: Wild World and earlier, it travels straight and never turns around unless it hits a wall. In Animal Crossing: City Folk and Animal Crossing: New Leaf, however, it no longer flies in a straight path. It, along with all the other dragonflies, can fly forward and stop, but does it faster and than other dragonflies, about the same speed as the Petaltail Dragonfly. It can be found from July and August, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m..

Donating to the museum

Upon donation of the banded dragonfly to the museum, Blathers will say the following:

In Animal Crossing

"I've heard that Tom Nook pays quite a fair price for specimen such as this. Thank you for your generosity. But all that nonsense aside, this is a colossal dragonfly! Of course, that merely makes it colossaly repulsive.

In Wild World

"Hoo! You caught a banded dragonfly! Most impressive. Rather difficult, was it? Bit of a hairy fellow, wot? I say, some cosmetic plucking would really help..."

In City Folk

"Banded dragonflies are rather flashy... Just look at those piercing green eyes. The black and yellow body! Not to mention their sheer size and--OH, HORRORS! The beast is looking right at me! Look away, fiend!"

It can be found in the first terrace of the insect exhibit, flying near the small pool of water near the flowers. It shares its pool with the Darner Dragonfly.

In New Leaf

Upon being donated, the dragonfly can be found in the first room of the bug exhibit flying around the pond and occasionally resting on the fence. The exhibit has this to say about the Banded Dragonfly:

"Banded Dragonflies have black-and-yellow-striped bodies and bright-green eyes. They are large and can fly quite fast. They have strong jaws, so it might be painful if you get bitten. Their larval stage lasts two to four years, where they live near water, feeding on tadpoles and small fish."
