Shogakukan Illustrated NEO's Science Picture Book

Japan's largest dragonfly, the oniyanma or golden-ringed dragonfly, glitters like a jewel as it flies powerfully about the water. As a larva, it must survive a long period underwater before transforming into an adult and, at last, experiencing the moment for its first flight out into the open air. This photobook captures the life of the oniyanma, from egg all the way to adulthood.
