Darner dragonfly

The Darner Dragonfly (Anax junius), is a large insect that flies slowly around town. It is quite common, and is easily recognized by its thin body and large wings. It is worth 200 bells.

Donating to the Museum
As with all insects in the series, the darner dragonfly can be donated to the Museum followed by a small talk by Blathers.

In City Folk
Blathers will accept the darner dragonfly for addition to the museum's insect exhibit:

"At first glance, the darner dragonfly, like all dragonflies, appears to be quite a sleek bug, wot? But in its larval stage, this bug is a beastly little carnivore... I suppose if one were being eaten, one wouldn't care if whoever was doing the devouring looked sleek..."

After donation, the darner dragonfly can be seen flying around on the lower level of the insect room. Occasionally, it will land on the water of the nearby pond for a few seconds.
