Description:
The red-colored males are commonly observed perching on shrubs near water bodies. Distinguishing features include black legs and intermittent black dorsal markings. There have been sightings of a yellow-colored male, observed in the SUST campus in February 2015. It remains uncertain whether this yellow male is a juvenile or represents a different form. These males were spotted perching on plants atop small hills. The yellow males closely resemble females but lack the abdominal black ring. They have black legs, transparent wings, an amber spot at the base of the hind wings, and a black dorsal stripe in segments 9-10, serving as distinguishing characteristics from similar species. As for females, they are also yellow in color and display black rings in the abdomen. Their similarity to yellow males emphasizes the importance of examining terminal abdominal segments to differentiate between the two.
