  Not Libellulidae, it is Aeshnidae, Anax cf. imperator, I'm only in doubt with A. parthenope.
  I'll come back here later. Cheers* Posted 7 years ago, modified 7 years ago

      Do you have any more dorsal view photos of the back of the head with good resolution? That would help, Anax parthenope is the only with pos-ocular tubercles... Posted 7 years ago, modified 7 years ago

        No pos-ocular tubercles, http://4everellen.blogspot.pt/2018/05/uitsluipende-libele-weet-de-soort-nog.html, Anax imperator, and a very very honest series of yours to share. Most grateful, what a moment to behold. Cheers, Ellen* Posted 7 years ago
