    Hard to separate from Libellulidae, this fellows.
    Corduliidae nymphs are related to rich oxygen water streams, and not properly to ponds or stationary waters, this kind of habitat is more suitable for Libellulidae. Not a great help :D

    Nice shots!     Posted 3 years ago

      Ohh, interesting! Thanks so much for the information, Rui. I really appreciate it. I love aquatic invertebrates, but am not very knowledgable about identifying them so I rely on help from others...like you! ;) Posted 3 years ago
