  Comments:
I can't find any evidence that 蜻蛉 is read かげろう. It usually has the (gikun) reading とんぼ.

The example sentence for this entry doesn't match up with the entry.  It is for ヤンマ (蜻蜒), which is also "dragonfly", but it is a separate entry, and is a reading that is not included in this entry.  ヤンマ has no example sentence.
