Beskrivning:

White Dartlet (Agriocnemis pieris); commonly found in wet grasslands, especially among laterite outcrops. Agriocnemis is a genus of small damselflies in family Coenagrionidae. They are small insects, commonly known as Wisps or Dartlets.

Agriocnemis pieris are only 16-18 mm long and almost invisible under our feet among the grass while walking. The males are white and pale blue with black stripes while the females have different color morphs; here the female is orange.

The existence of several female colour morphs is a conspicuous characteristic of many damselflies that show one male like (androchrome) and several non-male like (gynochrome) morphs.

Taken at Kadavoor, Kerala, India.
