Hemianax papuensis
A large dragonfly (90mm length?) with strong markings in black and yellow.
Resting on a Grevillea sp. shrub at the local school around midday.
Very cooperative. Not 100% with ID. Checking more thoroughly later. http://photos.rnr.id.au/dragonfly_Hemian... http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_...

Thanks Martin. After checking for ID's for these I think I'll add some more cropped shots.
Yes they are hard to photograph, even when they cooperate. Well done Mark.
I do the same Mark. I've been trying to do the same you did above, so I can show different "mechanics" on a animal and explain it better on PN.
Thanks Arya. I never quite know what to do with these. Like stick insects and very leggy spiders.
Beautiful close-ups Mark! I really like the series and that you showed different aspects of it.
Ha - pterodactyl ! Thanks KD. I think about 80mm long.
That first photo is so impressive Mark. What's the size of this 'pterodactyl'?
