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 glaucum vs Orthetrum luzonicum
It is quite a challenge for laymen to tell apart Orthetrum glaucum from Orthetrum luzonicum because both (matured males) are light blue in colour. Actually, we are still able to distinguish them if we look at them carefully. Orthetrum glaucum is slightly larger than Orthetrum luzonicum. The hindwing base of Orthetrum glaucum has dark patch, but this is absent in Orthetrum luzonicum. Apart from that, the abdomen of Orthetrum luzonicum is slightly slender if compared to Orthetrum glaucum.
