The Brown Setwing (Dythemis sterilis) is a medium-sized dragonfly in the family Libellulidae (skimmers), known for its distinctive brown coloration and perching behavior. It is commonly found near water in open and sunny habitats. Their wings are held in a characteristic "set" position, partially spread while at rest.
