Beskrivning:

Prodasineura verticalis is a damselfly in Protoneuridae (Bambootails or Threadtails) family. Its commonly known as the Red-striped Black bambootail. The Black bambootail is medium size damselfly, its hindwings are about 19–20 mm and the abdomen about 30 mm. The male of this damselfly is mostly black with bright orange stripes on its thorax and small yellow spots on the abdomen. The pterostigma or the wing spot is diamond-shaped and is dark brown in colour. The female is similarly coloured to the male but her thoracic stripes are paler and more yellowish. Male Black bambootails are often seen hovering over fast flowing streams when they are rather difficult to see. They are also found along the banks of large ponds and rivers. They usually are sitting among emergent water plants. The oviposition takes place on vegetation or on submerged roots in shallow running water, with the pair in tandem.
