Striped Flutterer Dragonfly - Rhyothemis phyllis 

FAMILY LIBELLULIDAE - Skimmers

This page contains information and pictures about Striped Flutterer Dragonflies that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.
 
 
Male, body length 40mm

Striped Flutterer Dragonfly flies with fluttering in slow speed, gliding most of the time. Its wings are much longer than its body. This dragonfly is easily recognized. The head and body are dark brown in colour. It wings are clear, with black tips and striped patterns on hind-wings. 

 
 
We can find them in most of the large ponds, including ponds along Oxley Creek and Bulimba Creek in Brisbane.
