Rhyothemis phyllis is particularly unique. I quite like its colour pattern on wings - looks like strips of tiger! This species is quite common at open and exposed aquatic habitats such as marshes, paddy fields and weedy poods. You will frequently see them hovering over the sky under the sun. The male and female of R. phyllis have similar colour pattern on wings.
Rhyothemis obsolescens
Rhyothemis obsolescens somehow is less common compared to R. phyllis, but it normally shares habitat with R. phyllis. R. obsolescens has beautiful dark brown colour wings, of which making this specis easily be identified. The male and female are not much different from each other for their colour pattern on wings. Male individual may have more coloured area on wings than the female.
