There are a few dragonfly species with blue abdomen. One of these is Aethriamanta gracilis. Aethriamanta gracilis can be distinguished from the other blue dragonfly species by having open venation on its wings. However, the dragonfly image shown in the stamp is not accurate in the characteristics of the wing venation (the venation looks very close), of which it could be misidentified as other blue dragonfly species such as Brachydiplax chalybea, Brachydiplax farinosa or Brachydiplax sobrina.
Lathrecista asiatica
Lathrecista asiatica is a medium size dragonfly species. The red abdomen and blue thorax are particular elegant. It is commonly found at forest margins. The male and female individuals have similar marking on their bodies.
