It is about 4.8-5.3 cm in length. The compound eyes are dark green. The thorax is greenish with about six irregular black stripes; the abdomen is black with three to four white markings. The first to the third segments of its abdomen are swollen like a ball, followed by regular thin segments. The seventh to the tenth segments are slightly swollen and are black in color. The anal appendage is white. The wings are transparent with yellowish-brown stigmas. It is highly territorial, often flying back and forth to drive out other dragonflies and defend its own territory. It can be seen throughout the year, widely distributed across low altitude areas and is often seen around marshes or lakes. On campus, it can be found in the upstream area of Tranquility Lake, in front of the library, and in the Firefly Restoration Area. (Photo courtesy of Chen Jia-ju)
