Pied Paddy Skimmer – Female
Pied Paddy Skimmer (Neurothemis tullia) is a dragonfly species. The colours and patterns are beautiful, especially on the wings, although they vary significantly in males and females. Their flight is not as strong or fast like other dragonflies. This one is from Kerala.
The legs are sort of greenish-bluish-golden color. The head region is dark red with a blue strip on it. Length is approximately 8mm. After nearly spending every summer vacation of my life in Alibag, this was the first time I saw this spider. The color pattern is simply awesome. I have never seen such a beautiful spider in my whole life.
