Diplacodes trivialis
Checking this is a Chalky Percher Skimmer (female)?
Roadside verge on journey to Sakon Nakhon. Near to wet lands, rice fields and ponds.
Just a little curious as to whether this is the right identification as Thailand and SE Asia is not showing as the usual location for this species.

Hi cufcal64!
Your guess is correct both on species and gender! Female is green and male is grayish blue and pattern vary of course. I'm from coastal Andhrapradesh, India and lot of childhood memories are attached to this species, as this is very abundant in that area. Currently I'm staying in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. I observed many spottings here as well (Ref : https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/14...). Of course, I always observe more female than male. Good to see that this species is available and abundant in Thai as well! :)
Welcome to ProjectNoah, cufcal64!
Thanks for sharing your first few spottings. Hope to see many more!
