Trivia: What insect was a popular symbol among samurai?
Dragonfly
Mantis
Cricket
Ladybug
The correct answer is Dragonfly
So why is this answer correct? : The dragonfly was a common emblem in samurai culture, and was known in Japanese as “kachimushi” (which translates to “victorious insect”). Dragonflies would commonly appear on the crest affixed to the front of samurai helmets, known as the maedate. These insects were respected for never wavering from their path while hunting, which drew comparisons to the samurai.
