Field Notes

Description:

A medium sized dragonfly with bluish black thorax and blue tail. Face is pale
olivaceous brown in young adults changing to glossy black in old individuals. Commonly found in marshes associated with forest streams, plantations and
canals.

Notes:

When we were kids we used call these helicopters and carry them to school. Tie them to our bag and send them around the whole classroom. Never realised anything at that time but now feel ashamed about it.
