Mecistogaster sp
huge damselfly, 8 in wingspan, don't know the species but pretty sure on the genus
tropical rainforest, amazon
It's not hard to miss these giant damselflies fluttering through the forest but they were hard to photograph. They don't let you get close, this photo was cropped for a better view.

Beautiful!
Thanks Cindy and Lauren, still a lot more to come!
So neat you got one of these! I saw one in the Tuxtla forest and couldn't get close enough. They are really shy.
Wow, that must have been quite a site seeing them fly around. Thank you for posting all of your wonderful spottings from your awesome trip!
