Libellago blanda

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Libellago blanda faces significant pressure from habitat degradation due to deforestation and agricultural expansion in its Southeast Asian range. Stream pollution from agricultural runoff and urban development threatens the water quality essential for larval development. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the seasonal flow regimes of the forest streams this species depends upon.

Threat summary

Habitat

This damselfly inhabits clear, fast-flowing forest streams and small rivers in tropical Southeast Asian forests. It requires well-shaded waterways with good water quality and intact riparian vegetation for both breeding and adult foraging activities.
