Dragonflies and Damselflies (Order Odonata)
The Red-mantled Dragonlet (Erythrodiplax fervida) is a small but striking dragonfly in the family Libellulidae, characterized by its vibrant red coloration in males and its preference for sunny, freshwater habitats. Males are brightly colored, while females are more subdued, aiding in camouflage during egg-laying.
