Neurothemis tullia
The male changes in color slightly as it ages. On the adult male, the most obvious feature are its wings. Both the forewings and hindwings have black coloration from the base of the wings to about half way. There is also a white patch following the black. This is only on the adult males. Youngest males don't have the white mark yet. The female is very similar to the male, except for the wings. The abdomen is also stouter. The white patch on the wings becomes more prominent as it ages.
