It is a medium-sized dragonfly that is commonly found in weedy tanks and ponds, marshes, channels, and slow flowing streams and rivers in the lowlands and mid-hills. It breeds in streams, rivers, canals, ponds and tanks. It is found commonly and widely distributed in the Oriental region throughout the year.
They have a habbit of rasiing the abdomen vertically towards the sun to reduce heat uptake on hot sunny days.
