Coastal Evening Darner

Description:

The Coastal Evening Darner dragonflies are brown in colour, with white strips on the thorax. The wings are clean with all front edges marked with brown bands. The pterostigmas are creamy white in colour.

Habitat:

Inside a tropical Rainforest hanging vertically within plants

Notes:

The Coastal Evening Darners are one of the crepuscular species. Unlike most other dragonflies active in sunny day, they are active during the period of evening twilight. During the day the dragonflies spend most of the time hanging vertically within plants. They fly a few meters away when disturbed. They fly slowly and not in the way you may expect from other dragonflies. They fly like a lacewing, slow and weak. They active at dusk till early night.
