Yanma is a dragonfly. You can use chenille stems for the legs or you can using something else. The floral wire inside of the wings is only used to give the wings some stability. I used felt for the eyes. Someone that is adventurous can crochet the eyes with some bedspread cotton.
Yanma was easier that I originally thought it was going to be. The hardest part of Yanma was the mouth.
