Dragonfly, La Isla Escondida, Colombia
The set I have shared so far of our 2018 Colombia trip was a 2 hour warm-up session on the outskirts of the city of Orito, you can find this subset here:
57Orito
On this day after, our real trip would start as we would enter the jungle and stay for 5 nights in La Isla Escondida, so I'll be grouping that location under this tag:
1103La Isla Escondida
It's going to be a big subset as close to 50% of photos in our total set come from this one awesome location.
Back on topic: this first observation is obviously a dragonfly, an interesting pattern is that throughout this year's trip we did not see that many of them, and most that we saw looked pretty dull like this. A strange anomaly to the incredible diversity of other insect orders in Colombia.
It looks like it may be a difficult one to identify, but will try on FB in some enthusiast groups.

There's similar ones in the genus but this shot is clear enough that he could base it on wing details. Posted 6 years ago
