There are 5 or more scarlet red Neurothemis species...Look at your photo number 2, at the border of the red color on the hind wing. Now look at terminata http://dragonsndamsels.blogspot.com/2007... Now look at fluctuans http://rmbr.nus.edu.sg/dna/organisms/det... That is how I selected between the two...

You're welcome. I rearranged the common and scientific names for you, as they should be placed :-)

Thanks Frazier... I named it Scarlet...because I really don't know what kind of dragonfly it is. Just love to see it fly around my back yard.
