Insect: Blue-tailed forest hawk (Orthetrum triangulare) 鼎脈蜻蜓

我在台灣陽明山的二子坪看到鼎脈蜻蜓,由於我完全不懂生物,從中文翻譯的英文專有名詞可能有誤,在此聲明一下。鼎脈蜻蜓是一種中等體型的蜻蜓。雄蟲複眼黑褐色。合胸黑色。後翅基黑色,翅痣黑色。腹部3到7節前半為灰白色,其餘為黑色。未熟雄蟲腹及合胸可見黃色。雌蟲複眼藍綠色。合胸黃色,側視有兩條黑帶,後翅基褐色。腹部前8節黃色有黑色線條,其餘為黑色。鼎脈蜻蜓出現於低中海拔地區之池塘、湖泊、溪澗、水田等水域,為數量最多的蜻蜓種類之一。
I saw the Blue-tailed forest hawk in Erziping, Yangmingshan, Taiwan. Since I don’t understand biology at all, the English translation from Chinese may be wrong. I just would like to make a statement here. Blue-tailed forest hawk is a medium-sized dragonfly. Male compound eyes are dark brown. Synthorax is black. The base of the hind wings is black, and pterostigma is black. The first half of abdominal segments 3 to 7 is gray-white, and the rest is black. The abdomen and thorax of immature males are yellow. Female compound eyes are blue-green. The Synthorax is yellow, with two black bands in the side view, and the base of the hind wings is brown. The first 8 segments of the abdomen are yellow with black lines, and the rest are black. The Blue-tailed forest hawk is usually found in ponds, lakes, streams, paddy fields and other waters in low and medium altitude areas, and is one of the most abundant dragonfly species.
