The Common Picture Wing

 The Common Picture Wing, also known as the Variegated Flutterer (Rhyothemis variegata), is particularly notable for its beautiful and distinctive wings, which are tinted with pale yellow, black, and golden yellow patterns. In Kerala, India, they are affectionately called "Onathumbi" as they are commonly seen during the Onam harvest festival, decorating the skies with their vibrant flight. Common Picture Wings are typically found in open wetland habitats such as marshes, ponds, and paddy fields, where they also breed.
