A total of 39 Odonata species were identified under eight families: Libellulidae, Coenagrionidae, Aeshnidae, Gomphidae, Calopterygridae Chlorocyphidae, Lestidae and Platycnemididae and 26 genera. Libellulidae was the most abundant, followed by Coenagrionidae. The seasonal observation shows that higher species abundance is observed in the wet season than in the dry season.
