A model of an Asian giant dragonfly (oni-yanma) has an insect-repellent effect.

The Oniyanma (Golden-ringed dragonfly) is known as the largest dragonfly in Japan, characterized by its black body with distinctive yellow stripes.

Preying on moths, flies, horseflies, and wasps, the Oniyanma is considered a king of the insect world, and its prey are said to instinctively fear it and flee at the sight of it.

In fact, repellent decoys that leverage the Oniyanma’s deterrent effect are already on the market and are reportedly so popular that they frequently sell out.

Wearing one during outdoor activities or leisure outings may help you avoid insect troubles.
