The Common Flangetail (Ictinogomphus decoratus) spotted at Windsor Nature Park, Singapore, on 24 March, 2018.

A medium sized dragonfly, it is also known as a 'Clubtail dragonfly', due to the 'flap' near the end of its tail, making it easy to recognise.

It is widespread in the South-east Asian region.
