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.
Orthetrum testaceum and Orthetrum chrysis are red dragonflies. Click here to see the slight difference of colour marking between these two species. Their genitalia are also between (see below).
