Gynacantha millardi, is a species of dragonfly in the family Aeshnidae. It is found from India and Sri Lanka. This is a crepuscular species which probably breeds in forested swamps and marshy areas, or in forest pools. This is a slender dragonfly with abdomen not constricted at the 3rd segment and colored a uniform pale green. Its thorax is green and abdomen is pale brown to reddish brown above with segments 1–3 grass green on the sides. It can be distinguished from other Gynacantha species as it has unmarked frons whereas Gynacantha dravida, Gynacantha basiguttata and Gynacantha subinterrupta have a "T-mark".
It resembles G. bayadera in its size, shape and colors. But it can be differentiated by the absence of the usual constriction of segment three which is very prominent in G. bayadera. G. millardi was considered as a synonym of G. bayadera earlier. But Priyadarshana et al. (2015) pointed out that it is a valid species and that its synonymy was based on an incorrect interpretation of a remark by Lieftinck (1930). Gynacantha millardi is currently known from India and Sri Lanka while the widespread G. bayadera is known from Northeast India to South China... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Parakeet Darner sighting in Pune on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 293rd most-seen of the 340 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–February and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Parakeet Darner in Pune on a given day, against under 5% in March–May and July–December, the lowest months.
Only Pune, in our data
Pune is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Parakeet Darner sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Parakeet Darner is recorded against all the insects logged in Pune (6 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
