Along seepages and slow streams, these beautiful green and black damselflies are spotted mostly by their white anal appendages and the bright green markings on their thorax. Females are less brightly marked and can vary in color according to age - from bright yellow to muted green. They range across the mid-hills in the Himalayas from NW India to NE India including Nepal and probably Bhutan. They appear just before the monsoon in June, and breed in June and September.
