Orthetrum caledonicum

Hemicordulia australiae

Hemicordulia australiae
The classic ‘wheel’ mating position.

Hemicordulia tau

Anax papuensis
The female is inserting her eggs into floating vegetation, all the while gripped by the supporting (and possessive) male.

Diplacodes melanopsis

Synthemis eustalacta

Adversaeschna brevistyla
Chewing on a freshly-caught fly … which looks rather like a march fly. There’s a reason dragonflies seem to follow me as I move about the forest. I’m attracting a smorgasbord of lunch snacks!

Orthetrum villosovittatum
A species we see here only rarely.
