The Tasmanian darner (Austroaeschna tasmanica), is a species of dragonfly in the family Aeshnidae, which includes some of the world's largest dragonflies. It is found in Tasmania, Australia.[2] The species was first described by Robert Tillyard in 1916 and inhabits streams and rivers.[3]
Also referred to as "hawkers", the name "darner" derives from the fact that the female abdomens look like a sewing needle, as they cut into plant stem when they lay their eggs through the ovipositor.
