Wow, I've never seen damselflies that small. Vestalis damselflies in Malaysia are usually large, but shy.

Huh... means like a Dragonfly...!! I failed to spot many Damselfly here due to very small size about 1 inch to 1 cm...!! They disappears quickly in grass.

Lim... I wonder how small it is...

ID suggestion submitted, in West Malaysia, vestalis amoena and vestalis amethystina are very similar to it. Except that this species does not have a bluish wing like them.
