Dragonflying at Putrajaya Wetland Park

Dragonflying at Putrajaya Wetland Park

I visited to Putrajaya Wetland Park on 4 July 2026 for dragonflying. I spotted 24 species of odonates. Diplacodes nebulosa was everywhere at the park. Trithemis pallidinervis was also present in a good number. Access to Putrajaya Wetland Park is free, and plenty of parking spaces are provided (free as well).

Please take note that Perbandanan Putrajaya just came up a few days ago with new guideline on photography activity at Parks in Putrajaya (including Putrajaya Wetland Park):
