Diplacodes trivialis (Rambur,1842) Photo taken in Khon Kaen (Thailand) on 2008-10-22
Location: River Chi, Khon Kaen, along the river bank resting in the reeds
Sighting frequency (in KK): extremely common everywhere.
Notes: a male. I sometimes feel like Dr. Doolittle! This is about the 3rd or 4th dragonfly that has landed on my hand while taking a photo of something else!
Please note: If I am wrong with my identification (and I often am), please feel free to email me.

Sighting frequency (in KK): extremely common everywhere.
Notes: a female. Tried to rescue it from a spider's web, but I think it was paralized. Still, good example of the dragonfly's underside.
