Damselfly

Description:

Listed as Near Threatened in the IUCN Red List, this Rhinagrion elopurae Damselfly is endemic to Sabah/Borneo. It has a dark coloured body with lime-green markings that form a triangular shape on the top of its thorax and a dark red abdomen tipped with a bright blue flash. They live in shaded forest streams and are unusual in that unlike most damselflies, they rest with their wings open like a dragonfly. They also have very small wings on a body that’s thicker than most damselflies.
