I've created a mission so we can document the wide variety of insects in Indonesia. It's here if you are interested. http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1773...

Crocothemis erythraea is a southern European/north African species.

Thanks for your sugestion Telse, but I thinks Dave's right...it's Orthetrum chrysis...Crocothemis erythraea has a bright red abdomen color.

I have no idea for what it is exactly, just love to capture anything around my back yard. Thanks for your suggestions Dave, it's really helps :)

Two different species, both males:

On the left - Orthetrum chrysis
http://www.asia-dragonfly.net/globalResu...

On the right - Neurothemis fluctuans
http://www.asia-dragonfly.net/globalResu...

Not 100% on either as I am having a lot of problems with similar dragon identifications. See what you or anyone else thinks.

Great image :)
