More dragonflies

With the late rain of December pouring only now in January, my favourite haunt for dragonfly observation just got a bit 'dry'. Here are some from last year's October when it was warmer.

This is a large and powerful flier, Ictinogomphus spp., perched on its sentry point.


An unusual pink insect, Trithemis aurora.


A very common dragonfly landed on the edge of a lotus leaf, Orthetrum testaceum


A tiny Acisoma panorpoides sitting prettily on a dried lotus leaf...


Crocothemis servilia, the red-eyed dragonfly...


An orange-winged Brachythemis contaminata...


A beautiful Rhyothemis triangularis.


A delicate powder blue dragonfly found commonly on the water edges: Aethriamanta gracilis
