Australian Tiger Dragonfly

Description:

Male, body length 65mm. Australian Tigers are yellow and black in colour. The males are with broad flaps on clubbed abdomen end.

Habitat:

Australian Tigers are common on large ponds and slow flowing waters. They always occupy the best perching position, which is usually the emergent vegetation or fallen branches in the pool or slow running water, where the dragonfly can oversee a large piece of water as his territory. There are so many of these dragonflies, everywhere that I go lately near fresh water....they are there in numbers :)
