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 Tasik Paya Pahlawan
Dragonflies and Damselflies of Tasik Paya Pahlawan, Kedah
Tasik Paya Pahlawan is located at Kampung Tradisi Paya Pahlawan, about 9 km away from Jitra, Kedah. I must say that the lake is beautiful. I had the opportunity to survey the dragonflies and damselflies of the lake on 26 July 2026 and 30 July 2026. I managed to record 17 Odonata species - 4 damselflies and 13 dragonflies.
