Country intro
Pantala flavescens – the Globe Skimmer
latitude or any country were the mean temperature is 20°C or better. Countries were the temperature drops too low in winter, the dragon will migrate.
The reason for this dragon’s huge success, is that it is better at flying than all the other dragons, and spends most of its day on the wing. Its flight equipment looks no different to other dragons. I will deal with my theories on flavescens flight abilities in another post.
This dragon appears to fly purely for the joy it brings, and is usually spotted in large clouds of dragons, aimlessly flying around effortlessly.
Location is Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Alongside a stream and paddy fields.
"Pantala flavescens", the Globe Skimmer or Wandering Glider, is a wide-ranging dragonfly of the family Libellulidae. This species and "Pantala hymenaea," the "Spot-winged Glider", are the only members of the genus "Pantala" from the subfamily Pantalinae. It was first described by Fabricius in 1798. It is considered to be the most widespread dragonfly on the planet.
