ABSTRACT

Orthetrum chrysis is a dragonfly species from the family Libellulidae that is commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, including Indonesia. This species is easily recognized by its metallic reddish-brown abdomen and dark thorax. Orthetrum chrysis plays an important ecological role as both predator and prey, helping control populations of small insects such as mosquitoes, while also serving as a food source for birds and other wildlife. The species typically inhabits freshwater environments such as ponds, slow-flowing streams, and wetlands, showing good adaptability to disturbed habitats
