Parasynthemis regina
Yellow and black dragonfly, I think it may be a royal tigertail
Still, muddy dam water with a few grasses growing around it.
Found this one down at our dam early AM
In my opinion this is indeed a Royal Tigertail (Parasynthemis regina). Being a female might make it a little confusing and harder to ID - also the angle doesn't help. Females of this species in particular haven't been photographed very often. Compare with my photo: http://photos.rnr.id.au/2005/12/29/drago...
PS. Thanks Jellis for bringing this to my attention, always glad to help if I can.
I doubt it is a Royal Tigertail. Yours the abdomen is too short the bars on the thorax are too wide and the eyes are smaller. Do you have any other angles?
