Anax guttatus (Lesser Green Emperor) is a large-sized dragonfly with the hindwing measuring around 52-56 mm in length. It is also known as Pale-spotted Emperor. This species has a green thorax, while the second and third abdominal segments are blue and slightly swollen. The other segments of the abdomen are strongly spotted. The inner half of the hindwing is slightly tinted brown. The male and female are similarly marked (Orr, 2005; Tang et al., 2010).
The Lesser Green Emperor occurs in open habitats with standing or slow-flowing water, such as drains and ponds. It is distributed in South and Southeast Asia (including Malaysia), Australia, and the Pacific Islands (Tang et al., 2010; Dow 2017).
