Anaciaeschna jaspidea (Burmeister, 1839)[2] | |
Anaciaeschna jaspidea[3] is a species of dragonfly in the family Aeshnidae,[4] commonly known as the Australasian duskhawker[5] and Rusty darner.[6] It inhabits still and brackish waters from India through Australia to the Pacific.[5][7] It is a crepuscular species; flies during dawn and dusk and frequently comes to light at night. This species is common in marshes surrounded by woodland.[6][8]
Anaciaeschna jaspidea is a large, brown dragonfly with two broad pale stripes on the side of its body, and pale spots on its tail. Adults are nomadic and generally fly at dusk.[9][10]

Note
The Australasian duskhawker, Anaciaeschna jaspidea, should not be confused with almost-similarly named Australian duskhawker, Austrogynacantha heterogena, a different species of Aeshnid dragonfly.
