    This is a Neurothemis sp. but I am hesitating between fluctuans and ramburii, leaning more towards ramburii. There is a detailed key to the species in this article but I don't have the time to read it.

      Hi, Ani, I have this key for Neurothemis sp.,

      http://www.dragonflyfund.org/images/reports/IDF_Report_93_Seehausen_Dow_Neurothemis_2016_small.pdf

      I'll try to come back here later after, key on p.24. Features like male abdomen details, or wind pattern are very difficult (to me) to distinguish N. fluctuans from N. ramburii. Cheers*       Posted 7 years ago

        Thanks for checking Rui. This is the same article posted on another site. They are indeed very similar and share the same range. I am super busy this week so I will have another look later too. Posted 7 years ago

    Sugianto, do you have any other photo of it from another angle? A top view might help. Posted 7 years ago
