Aethriamanta brevipennis - male
Putrajaya Wetland Park, Putrajaya
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 Putrajaya Wetland Park
Dragonflying at Putrajaya Wetland Park
I visited to Putrajaya Wetland Park on 4 July 2026 for dragonflying. I spotted 23 species of odonates. Diplacodes nebulosa was everywhere at the park. Trithemis pallidinervis was also present in a good number. Access to Putrajaya Wetland Park is free, and plenty of parking spaces are provided (free as well).
Please take note that Perbandanan Putrajaya just came up a few days ago with new guideline on photography activity at Parks in Putrajaya (including Putrajaya Wetland Park):
