Common Picture Wing Rhyothemis variegata

This dragonfly earned multiple delightful common names—common picture wing, variegated flutterer, yellow-striped flutterer, yellow-barred flutterer—thanks to its striking patterned wings that look like flying artwork. Somehow, despite being just one species, it inspired people across the globe to invent new names for it. This widely distributed beauty spans from South Asia all the way to Pacific islands, proving the picture-wing design is a formula for success across multiple continents and climates.
