Common name : Grenadier
Status : Common
This is classified as an uncommon species but I have seen them on many occasions such as Venus Drive, West Coast Park, Rifle Rifle Range Nature Trail, Jurong Woods, Jurong Woods II, Wild Wild West, etc. Generally,k, they are usually found in sluggish streams & shady drains. Quite a common species in my opinion.

The male has a a prominent red obdomen while the female is thicker and duller in colour. A very cooperative species which usually perches around the same spot for a prolonged period.
