Odonata of Tasik Kejuruteraan UKM

Tasik Kejuruteraan UKM is a nice lake located in the UKM Bangi Campus, next to the buildings of Fakulti Kejuruteraan dan Alam Bina. The lake is accessible and well maintained. Walkaways are built to surround the lake. The place is facilitated with parking lots for the visitors. A good number of dragonflies and damselflies are present at the lake. It is a good site for dragonfly watching.
