Common Picture Wing is a beautiful medium to large sized dragonfly, occurring in South Asia. The species is also called Variegated Flutterer, named after the orange and black markings on its wings and its fluttering flight. It is a weak flier and is often mistaken for a butterfly from a distance.
This beautiful dragonfly is an uncommon visitor to Jim’s Jungle Retreat and this basking individual was photographed by our Chief Naturalist Manoj Sharma at one of the waterholes at the Retreat.
