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.

Survey of Odonata at the Haven Ipoh
I stayed at the Haven Ipoh, Tambun, Perak on 8-10 October 2025 for a meeting. The hotel is located next to a limestone outcrop, and the foothill of the limestone outcrop has a beautiful lake. So, I spend some time to survey the dragonflies and damselflies at the lake during my stay at the hotel. A total of 11 dragonfly/damselfly species were observed - three were damselflies and eight were dragonflies. Here is the checklist of the species for the Haven Ipoh:
Family Platycnemididae
Copera marginipes
Prodasineura humeralis
Family Coenagrionidae
Pseudagrion microcephalum
Family Gomphidae
Ictinogomphus decoratus melaenops
Family Libellulidae
Brachythemis contaminata
Chalybeothemis chini
Neurothemis fluctuans
Orthetrum testaceum
Pseudothemis jorina
Tetrathemis hyalina
Trithemis aurora
Pseudagrion microcephalum, Prodasineura humeralis, Brachythemis contaminata and Neurothemis fluctuans were found in abundant at the lake. The interesting species observed from the lake is Chalybeothemis chini.
