Male and Female Agriocnemis femina oryzae look alike when they are matured. Female is reddish in colour when juvenile.
A mature female is the most difficult to spot. It seem female population of this species is less and even less to be able to get into maturity. One reason is larger size dragonflies pray on the juvenile female.
