What Is It On?

Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research released a red packet in 2011 with an image of a cute rabbit holding an aerial net and a binocular. What is this rabbit on? Is it on dragonflies.... hihi

Records of Coeliccia kimurai

Coeliccia kimurai is an uncommon damselfly species. It was described by Asahina (1990) based on two specimens (one male and one female) collected by Y. Kimura from Yala Province of Thailand (southern part of Peninsular Thailand) in 1988.

I spotted this species at two locations - Gunung Angsi-Berumbum (Negeri Sembilan) and Pangkor Islands (Perak). The record information of this species can be viewed at the following references:

Pattern of Dragonfly

Garden by the Bay released a set of three red packets this year. One of the red packets has a dragonfly motif in the design (see the image below). Are you able to spot the "hidden" dragonfly image in the red packet?

A Very Cute Dragonfly

I was delighted to see a dragonfly as a drawing object on a street wall painting in Kajang town.
