| Tree-hugging Dragonfly |
| For
some reason, Tyriobapta torrida (below) likes hugging tree
trunks. Even when disturbed, it will hover away only briefly at arm-length
and return just as promptly. The male (displaying a large black patch
at the base of both hind-wings) are always found to be gregarious.
See the female counterpart hugging the same tree nearby. It wears trendy 'red sunglasses' and looks completely different from the male! She seemed to prefer being solitary. |
