Common Hooktail

<em>Paragomphus genei</em>, commonly known as the common hooktail, is a dragonfly in the family Gomphidae. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, suggesting a stable and widespread population. The species is noted to occupy virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats within its range, reflecting considerable ecological generalism typical of many gomphid dragonflies. Specific country-level distribution records for this species are not detailed in current data, though the breadth of habitat use implies a relatively wide geographic range across suitable regions. Diet information for this species is not available in current records. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
