Description
Libellago hyalina or commonly known as Clearwing Jewel is a damselfly species under family Chlorocyphidae (Choong et al., 2017). Its hindwing measures up to 18mm in length. This damselfly has violet coloration at abdomen which developed only in mature males and visible in strong light. The immature can be identified by the reddish-brown mark with pale pterostigma while the female is usually similar to L. lineata, but has distinctive thoracic marking. The Clearwing Jewel is widely distributed in Sundaland except for Java, Thailand and Cambodia (Orr, 2005). It can be found on a variety of lowland forest streams and is abundant in swamp forest, especially at low pH swamp forest. It is tolerant of disturbance and also has been found even on streams in oil palm plantations in Borneo (Dow, 2011).
