Abundant vegetation and enormous
trees provide shade at the edges of rivers and lagoons, where the bottom is
often covered with littered branches and leaves.
With
a base yellow colour, its body is spotted with black spots and a patch of red at
the abdomen area. The red patch is typically more pronounced in females than in
males. Females can be more colourful than male.
