Bhopal's Common clubtail !


COMMON CLUBTAIL (ICTINOGOMPHUS RAPAX) 

This common dragonfly usually perches on a bare twig facing the water.It is commonly found in ponds, tanks and rivers. I had clicked this picture on Van Vihar road in Bhopal. One can see and click this clubtail throughout the year !
