Dragonflies of Malaysia 07

Brachythemis contaminata
Brachythemis contaminata is a brownish orange colour dragonfly species commonly found at open weedy ponds or lakes. The wings are partially in orange colour.



Pseudothemis jorina
Pseudothemis jorina is rather an active dragonfly species. It patrols unstoppingly lakes, ponds and slow flowing rivers. Therefore, taking a good photography on this species is most likely impossible....... However, it could be easily identified by its unmistakable marking on its abdomen even in flying.
