Orthetrum glaucum[2] is an Asian dragonfly species, common across much of tropical and subtropical Asia.

[1][3][4][5][6] It is a medium sized dragonfly with dark face and greenish blue eyes.

Its wings are transparent with dark amber-yellow tint in the extreme base.

The abdomens of females and juvenile males are golden in color, with brown stripes along the sides of the thorax.

[7] Despite their visual similarities, females and juvenile males can be distinguished by the shape of their final abdomen segment.
