Pantala hymenaea
Similar to Rainpool Glider, but abdomen mottled gray-brown, more tapered. Round spot at base of hindwings is characteristice but may be difficult to see. Flies almost continuously, but does perch sometimes, vertically on twigs of trees, bushes.
Open areas with temporary ponds, including brackish waters.
There were dozens flying (and mating).
