@kimmistephens@cjwhite It looks like a Dragonfly, there are a few that will hold their wings vertically over their back similar to Damselflies. Especially when newly emerged. Then there are the Lestidae which are damselflies but hold their wings like dragonflies. Yikes! Exceptions to every rule! Nice shot, beautiful beast.
@kimmistephens I think it's in the Gomphidae, maybe the genus Gomphus. The dragonflies that habitually hold their wings like damselflies are Indo/Australian. A few species in one or two oddball families, (Cordulephya the shutwings) and I found a few pictures of teneral Epiophlebia, in the family Epiophlebiidae(Indo/Asian) once considered transitional between dragonflies and damselflies.
Could be, some of the Gomphus species look very similar. The females have a narrower tail end like this one, without a specimen and keys to the species I couldn't say for sure which. Very difficult to picture book ID them.
@robv Thank you so much for your time!!! I'm happy to know I was at least in the ballpark with my ID. The 365 has really gotten me interested in insects, birds, and wildflowers. Insects are my favorite.
Glad he is doing well.
My goodness - he's huge!!!!
Careful, he might get ya ;)
