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.

Rhyothemis triangularis - Damaged by Rain
Below photograph shows a newly emerged male individual of Rhyothemis triangularis.
This photograph was taken in the morning at a pond. It looks like this male individual
was successfully emerged from a larva in the night. However, this individual was caught in the rain right after its larval emergence, causing its fresh and delicate wings stuck
together by the rain water.
