Pseudothemis jorina - female
Setia Alamsari, Kajang, Selangor
Dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) are a group of aesthetic aquatic insects. Over 420 species of Odonata have been recorded for Malaysia (Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak). They are waiting for me to explore.

Dragonflying at Canal Park, Setia Alamsari
Dragonflying at Canal Park, Setia Alamsari, Selangor
Setia Alamsari is located in the larger Kajang area (many thought it is in Bangi arae), Selangor. It is about 5 km away from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia main campus. Canal Park is located within the township of Setia Alamsari, and it is a focus of recreation for the people living in the township. The park contains three nice ponds (actually retention ponds) with cemented walkways surrounding the ponds. I visited to Canal Park for dragonfly watching on 18 July 2026 (from 10 am to 1.30 pm). I managed to spot 21 Odonata species - 5 damselflies and 16 dragonflies.
