Waiting For The Dragonflies

Meanwhile, looking for them anywhere I can find them: in this case, in a couple of Samurai movies from the late 1960s. Above, the scale seems off, since the knife in the hand of the thrower looked to be about 8″.

And here the kids seem to be using poles smeared with a birdlime-like substance to capture dragonflies. (This was unexplained background activity for the film.)
