Neurothemis tulia spots an unusual colour combination for a dragonfly... a black body and black wings edged with white. The wing tips are transparent. I don't know if this species is rare (or uncommon) but so far I have seen it only once. I’ll keep looking.

Trithemis festiva, which has a deep blue colour, is another eye-catching species. This species is not often seen, being encountered only at the forest edge or in relatively undisturbed secondary vegetation.
