Tholymis tillarga (hw 35mm) is another common crepuscular species in Sabah. Found in drains, lakes and weedy ponds. It commences activity about two hours before dusk. Males are quite conspicuous in the dull evening light by virtue of the bright white wing patches, which seem almost to glow as they fly back and forth. Its orange abdomen is also conspicuous. It is of medium size ( hw, 34-35 mm) and very widely distributed in the old world tropics. Immatures male and female
liik similar but lacking white patch. Common in standing and slow flowing water
in all types of open habitats, 0-1500 m; salt tolerant. Larva bottom
dwelling, without long posterior spines and relatively slender. Adults
active from 2-3 hours before sunset until dark. In the light of early dusk
the whirring white patches on the wings are almost luminescent, and as the
gloom deepens, are all that can be seen. Widespread in tropical Asia,
Africa and Australasia. http://www.ilib.cn/Periodical.Articles/shidkx/2005/03/shidkx200503002.html "....Tholymis tillarga and Copera ciliata were strictly found at ......implicating their preference for smaller, slow moving and polluted river with floating microphytes.... " |
