Dragonflies and Damselflies of Tasik Semenyih, Semenyih, Selangor

Dragonflies and Damselflies of Tasik Semenyih, Semenyih, Selangor

Tasik Semenyih is located along Jalan Broga. It is easily accessed through Taman Tasik Semenyih or Jalan Diamond City. The lake is not far from Semenyih town. The lake looks great, but many parts of the lake is covered by water hyacinth. I visited Tasik Semenyih on 7 August 2026 (from 10.15 am to 1.15 pm) to check the dragonflies and damselflies present there. I managed to record 17 species in 4 families - 4 were damselflies and 13 were dragonflies.
