Clubbed Emerald Dragonflies - Hemicordulia continentalisFAMILY CORDULIIDAE - EmeraldThis page contains pictures and information about Clubbed Emerald Dragonflies that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.
The Clubbed Emerald Dragonflies are medium in size, body length about 50mm. They are also known as Fat-bellied Emerald. When we took those pictures, we through they were Australian Emerald, another Emerald dragonfly species which is common in Brisbane. Both species can be found in the same place. Because both of them are seldom rest, it is difficult to distinguish between them. Clubbed Emeralds are long and slender, with black pattern on yellow colour. The black patterns are shiny blue green under the sun. Their eyes and mouth occupy almost all their head with bright green in colour. Clubbed Emeralds can be distinguished from other Emerald dragonfly species by the male's strongly club-shaped abdomen.
