    GORGEOUS dragonfly! The slaty skimmer (Libellula incesta) is an eastern US species, though. I'm unsure of the correct ID, but suspect it might be Indothemis sp. Posted 3 years ago

      That genus looks great, have tentatively identified as "Indothemis carnatica", looks like the main candidate.
