Description
editThe Hairy Dragonfly is named for its hairy thorax, distinguishing it from other hawkers. It has a long, narrow pterostigma, “a coloured, chitinous patch on the outer region of each wing.” [1] It is smaller then the subspecies of Aeshnidae, Aeshna. The antehumeral stripes are usually thin and green. The Hairy Dragonfly has coupled, oval-shaped markings on its abdomen, blue on males and yellow on females.
