Common Orange

Common name for a species of pond damselfly, with the scientific designation Ceriagrion calamineum, and also commonly known as Common Pond-damsel.

It has transparent wings with bluish-black nerving and a small orangey patch at the outer front edge of the forewings, towards the apex. The adult female is pinkish with some grey. The male of this species is very similar to the male Orange-tailed Sprite, yet the thorax of the latter has more green. See also List of Thai Insect Names. See also WILDLIFE PICTURE. 回
