Austrocordulia refracta

We were very pleased to find a hanging Austrocordulia refracta during a visit to Carnarvon Gorge in Queensland in December.

Crenigomphus cornutus

It took four visits to the Zambezi rapids near Katima Mulilo in NE Namibia to finally connect with Crenigomphus cornutus on our recent trip to the country.

Lestinogomphus angustus

My recent tour to Namibia was all about gomphids, not many species but some very special species encountered. Lestinogomphus (angustus) was a new genus for me at Rundu.

Telephlebia undia

risiophlebia dohrni

The odonate highlight of our recent trip to Singapore was finding Risiophlebia dohrni at Upper Seletar, a superb little swamp forest species. It was so dark in habitat I was using my spotlight when I found it!
