Orange-spotted emerald  (Oxygastra curtisii)

As a typical emerald (Corduliidae spp.), this medium-sized dragonfly possesses vivid emerald green eyes and a metallic green body, with a dark, bronzed tinge to the long abdomen (2) (3) (6) (7). The presence of conspicuous deep yellow spots on the upper surface of the abdomen, which merge almost into a longitudinal stripe, is a characteristic feature of this species and earns it its common name (7). Unlike males, the wings of females are suffused with yellow along their leading edge, a feature that helps distinguish between the sexes (2) (6).
