Odonata Checklist for Bangi Forest Reserve

I put an entry on the Odonata checklist of Bangi Forest Reserve and UKM Bangi Campus on March 31, 2008. At the time the checklist had 74 odonate species. By September 4, 2010, the total number of odonate species on the checklist has increased to 92 - 60 species are dragonflies and 32 species are damselflies. This shows the richness of odonate fauna in Bangi Forest Reserve.

Sg Durian, Lintang, Perak

I was back to my home town in Perak to see my folk over the weekend. Of course, I did not forget to spend a day searching for odonates somewhere near my home town. I went to Sg Durian in Lintang, Perak to observe and take pictures of odonates. For four hours of hanging around Sg Durian, I spotted 24 species of odonates. Sg Durian is located 3 km away from Lintang small town. The water of the river is clear and the river flows through oil palm and rubber plantations.

Lentang Recreational Park, Pahang

I had an outing today to Lentang Recreational Park, Pahang. The recreational park is located by the Karak Highway about half an hour drive from Kuala Lumpur. I tried to record the dragonfly species in the recreational park. I started to work from 9.30am to 3.30pm, and the weather was not good (cloudy the whole day with accasional dizzling). I managed to record 16 species belonging to nine families.

Odonata Checklist of Bangi Forest Reserve and UKM Bangi Campus

Below is the Odonata checklist of Bangi Forest Reserve and UKM Bangi Campus. The data is based on my own collection accumulated over the past three years and the specimens in Centre for Insect Systematics of UKM. A total of 74 species in 13 families was recorded. Anax panybeus Hangen 1867 is a new record for Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore. The checklist was published in ECHO and can be accessed at http://www.asia-dragonfly.net/Articles/Echo_5_Jan_2008.pdf.
