Taiwanese children have vivid memories of Orthetrum sabina sabina and Orthetrum triangulare, which fly over paddy fields; of Epophthalmia elegans and Pseudothemis zonata, which are often seen over ponds; and of the wandering glider (Pantala flavescens) and Orthetrum pruinosum, which gather in the air over grassland and woodland before and after rain. Even in the cold of winter, Taiwan's residents can still see the brightly colored Sympetrum eroticum ardens.
稻田上的杜松蜻蜓、鼎脈蜻蜓，水塘常見的慧眼弓蜓、黃紉蜻蜓，與下雨前後，紛紛聚集草地、樹林上空的薄翅蜻蜓、霜白蜻蜓，都成為台灣孩子最深刻的記憶，甚至寒冬，寶島居民也能看到焰紅蜻蜓、金黃蜻蜓。
