Micrathyria_laevigata or Micrathyria caerulistyla or??? ok.. I don&#039;t know. I&#039;m a mechanic, not a biologist.<br />
Micrathyria caerulistyla looks closest so far. Hagenii is also similar but has the wrong light blue marks<br />

  1. I checked a lot of photo galleries, distribution maps, and the longer I searched, the more confused I became. Ultimately, I place my bets on Micrathyria ocellata, based on this reference:

    I'm open to corrections, as always.

    he is right about the clubtail and I have decided at last it might be
    Erpetogomphus constrictor
