Batang Ai is an area believed to be the oldest Iban settlements in Sarawak.
Iban first arrived here from Kalimantan in the 15th Century, before spreading
out into the Skrang, Saribas, Rejang and Lundu areas, and onward throughout
Sarawak.
In 1980 a hydro-electric scheme completed and dammed the Batang Ai river to form
a 24 sq km lake fed by four crystal clear tributaries.
The Iban communities were resettled as part of the dam project. But a few Iban
longhouses still remain above the flood waters.

INTRODUCTION TO THE DAMSELFLIES OF SABAH, BORNEO ISLAND
Insects are diverse and dominant inhabitants of the tropical rainforests in Borneo Island. New species are discovered too often. Entomologists are still struggling to cope with the documentation of tropical insect diversity.
Most of the common dragonflies in Sabah are red coloured, especially from the family Libellulidae. Some red pecies are even confused as same species, for example the three species of Genus Neurothemis.
The compound eyes of dragonflies
Dragonflies and damselflies have large compound eyes that can see in all directions. When the compound eye is magnified several hundred times, each individual facet (ommatidium) is shown to be hexagonal in shape.
Ovipositor (Vulvar Lamina)

Female dragonflies have either one of the two method of depositing eggs from
the abdomen:
1- using Ovipositor Structure
2- using Vulvar Lamina
Male do not have an ovipositor. Instead male dragonfly and damselfly have appendages.
