RELATED TOPICS
INTRODUCTION TO THE DAMSELFLIES OF SABAH, BORNEO ISLAND
Insects are diverse and dominant inhabitants of the tropical rainforests in Borneo Island. New species are discovered too often. Entomologists are still struggling to cope with the documentation of tropical insect diversity.
Most of the common dragonflies in Sabah are red coloured, especially from the family Libellulidae. Some red pecies are even confused as same species, for example the three species of Genus Neurothemis.
The compound eyes of dragonflies
Dragonflies and damselflies have large compound eyes that can see in all directions. When the compound eye is magnified several hundred times, each individual facet (ommatidium) is shown to be hexagonal in shape.
Ovipositor (Vulvar Lamina)
of Female Dragonflies and Damselflies
Female dragonflies have either one of the two method of depositing eggs from
the abdomen:
1- using Ovipositor Structure
2- using Vulvar Lamina
Male do not have an ovipositor. Instead male dragonfly and damselfly have appendages.

GO FURTHER FLORA Borneo has 150 species of wild fig trees. Most of them are found in forests of Sabah. FISHERIES Prawn farming is a main commercial activities in Tawau. Spawners from Tawau are graded the best in Malaysia. For decades, Tawau has been exporting high-grade tiger prawns to several countries such as Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China, Vietnam, Singapore, Egypt and Australia. |
