  1. Nice. Taking photos of dragon fly was never possible for me since it is not stationing in one place. Good job done. Posted 11 years ago
  2. This is more likely a Pseudagrion decorum.

''Pseudagrion decorum'', elegant sprite or three striped blue dart, is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in many tropical Asian countries.

It breeds in slow flowing marshy streams and reservoirs. It is also found in wadis, springs and oases in desert and semi-desert landscapes in the Arabian Peninsula. Commonly seen along shoreline or on emergent vegetation. It is essentially an insect of the plains; but seen from montane areas during migration.
