Rhyothemis variegata
Eye catching shades of yellow and black plus transparent patches on wings. Weak flight. Aptly named: Flutter- er.
This one was spotted in the campus of a government office; at the intersection of two very busy roads. The small garden, with its beds of Gomphrena, must have seemed like an oasis to the dragonfly.
Also known as Common Picture Wing.

Hi! Hema,

Kerala too.
