Twister Tholymis tillarga

With a dizzying array of common names—twister, evening skimmer, crepuscular darter, foggy-winged twister—this species earned its colorful reputation across its vast range from West Africa to the Pacific Islands. It's a dusk-flying specialist, hunting during twilight hours when other dragonflies have retired for the day. The striking coral-red tail is your clue to spotting one.
