Rhyothemis phyllis is a common species found around my home. It's easily spotted on the air when it's fluttering in a swarm. Sometimes it perches on the leaves or twigs. For me, the male is easier to encounter than the female.

Male is metallic green body and abdomen. Wing base has yellow-and-black markings. Nodus and wingtips are dark patches. Female is similar to the male but stouter.

This species is found all parts of Thailand and all the year.
