Black-tipped forest glory

Vestalis apicalis

Description:

It is a large metallic emerald-green colored damselfly with brown capped yellowish green eyes. The apices of all wings are broadly tipped with blackish-brown. Female is similar to the male; but dull colors and the apical marking usually paler and less sharply defined. It breeds in forest streams. Commonly seen as a group rest among bushes in forest paths and shades together with Vestalis gracilis. (From Wikipedia)

Habitat:

I found it in the garden of a riverside resort.
