Dragonflying at the Pond Next to Kajang 2 KTM Station

A small pond is located next to the parking area of Kajang 2 KTM Station, Kajang, Selangor. The water edge length of the pond is about 200 m. I did dragonfly watching at the pond on 6-10 June 2026. To my surprise, 27 Odonata species (8 damselfly species and 19 dragonfly species) were recorded at the small pond. Interesting species spotted were Anax guttatus, Camacinia gigantea, Indothemis carnatica, Diplacodes nebulosa, Ceriagrion auranticum and Aciagrion borneense
