Male
The spectacular dragonflies are green, white and black in color. The eyes are green, thorax are green and yellow, wings are transparent, pterostigma and legs are black, segments 7-10 are completely black, anal appendages are white.
Orthretrum sabina are very aggressive and I have sighted the species feeding on butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies.
Beautifful !!
