The MALE Common Parasol (Neurothemis fluctuans) dragonfly, seen in the Botanic Garden of Khoo Teck Puat Hospital has a vibrant reddish-brown body with deep red patches covering the bases of its wings, bordered by clear tips. However, the female looks different, featuring a duller yellowish-brown body and mostly clear wings.

VIDEO PROMPT — RED DRAGONFLY: MALE COMMON PARASOL
Vertical 9:16 | Photorealistic wildlife documentary | Singapore | 24 September 2026 | 10:48 AM
SCENE SETTING
A peaceful, lush river-bank/pond area at the Botanic Garden beside Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, Singapore, matching the uploaded river-bank reference image. Dense tropical vegetation, tall grasses and reeds along the water, calm pond surface with soft reflections, gentle morning sunlight, and a quiet natural atmosphere.
Use the uploaded male Common Parasol dragonfly photograph as the exact visual reference for the dragonfly's coloration, wing markings, body shape and proportions.
MAIN WILDLIFE ACTION
A male Common Parasol dragonfly (Neurothemis fluctuans) is perched delicately on the tip of a tall green grass blade beside the pond.
The dragonfly has:
- A vibrant reddish-brown to deep-red body
- Deep red patches extending over the bases of all four wings
- Distinctive clear, transparent wing tips
- Delicate transparent wing venation
- Realistic compound eyes and fine insect anatomy
The camera begins with an extreme macro close-up of the dragonfly resting motionless on the grass tip.
A gentle breeze causes the grass blade to sway slightly.
Suddenly, the dragonfly launches upward from the grass blade, its four wings beating rapidly and realistically. It rises a short distance into the air and briefly hovers.
The camera smoothly follows the dragonfly.
After a moment, it flies back and lands precisely on the SAME TIP of the SAME GRASS BLADE, settling into its original position.
Hold the shot long enough to clearly show that it has returned to its territorial perch.
GRANDPA DAVID AND YA YA
Cut naturally to Grandpa David Sing, a tall Chinese grandfather, 76 years old, grey hair, bespectacled, wearing a white polo shirt, dark blue long pants and white shoes, carrying a Canon R5 camera with a telephoto zoom lens.
He is beside his granddaughter Ya Ya, 7 years old, Chinese, with double-pleated hair, wearing a white floral blouse, dark black pants and white shoes.
They are standing quietly beside the pond, engaged in wildlife photography.
Grandpa points gently toward the grass blade without disturbing the dragonfly. Ya Ya looks carefully through the camera's direction and watches the dragonfly return to its perch.
DIALOGUE
Grandpa David, softly and naturally:
“Ya Ya, look! The male Common Parasol dragonfly is red, unlike the dull yellow female.”
Ya Ya watches excitedly but quietly, maintaining a respectful distance from the wildlife.
