Project Description

The Tholymis tillarga, also known as the coral-tailed cloudwing. This dragonfly species belongs to the family Libellulidae and is found across a wide range, from tropical West Africa to Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. It goes by various common names, including old world twisterevening skimmercrepuscular darter, and foggy-winged twister.

Here are some intriguing details about the Tholymis tillarga:

  • Appearance:
    • The male Tholymis tillarga boasts reddish eyes, a yellowish-red thorax, and a coral-red abdomen.
    • Its wings are transparent, but the hindwings feature a golden-brown patch at the base, bordered by a cloudy-white patch.
    • In contrast, the female is brown and lacks the cloudy-white patch in the hindwings.
  • Habitat and Behavior:
    • This species is a migrant with a permanent presence in humid parts of the tropics.
    • It breeds in standing water bodies, preferring weedy ponds, swamps, and lakes.
    • Active at dusk, dawn, and during cloudy days, the Tholymis tillarga adds its vibrant presence to wetland ecosystems.
