The insect’s aliases include tintin, ant, lamplighter, etc.
1. Ding Ding: An alias for dragonfly is "Ding Ding". This name comes from the slight sound the dragonfly makes when flying, or describes the dragonfly's small size and agility. It sounds friendly and vivid.
2. Mantis: In some dialects and literature, dragonflies are also called "mantises". The name may come from the fact that the dragonfly moves quickly in the air to catch prey like an agile "ant" (i.e. praying mantis). At the same time, the word "ant" also means small insects in some dialects, which is related to the name of dragonfly. Characteristics match.
3. Lighting: This alias vividly depicts the dragonfly’s twinkling lights in the sky at dusk or night. The eyes of dragonflies can reflect the light from the surrounding environment, especially in dark places. This reflection phenomenon makes the dragonfly look like a floating bright spot in the night sky, so it is nicknamed "Lighting".
