Species name: Rhodothemis rufa
Family: Libellulidae
My last post on this species was in December 2009 featuring a newly emerged female. Male R. rufa is not easy to distinguish from other medium-sized red species of libellulid like Orthetrum testaceum, Crocothemis servilia or Urothemis signata. The female however is easier to recognise with her brownish colour and a middorsal pale yellowish streak.
I have recently photographed both males and females in the field.
