Ruddy Meadow Skimmer Dragonfly

Neurothemis intermedia

Description:

I have based my ID on the red coloured body and amber patches on all four wings.

Habitat:

It's been raining and there are dragonflies of all kinds in the air, on the ground and on the plants in the garden. This was on the ground in a patch being readied for winter annuals.

Notes:

Although they get spooked easily dragonflies keep returning to the same perch. So patience is usually rewarded.
