Macromia ida[2] is a species of dragonfly in the family Macromiidae. It is an endemic dragonfly and found only in Western Ghats in India.[3]
This species usually found hawking over shallow streams where it breeds. Its small size and general dark colours distinguishes it from all other species except Macromia flavocolorata. It is difficult to distinguish these two species without examining the genitalia.[4][5]
