Pretty!! I would suggest an ID, but the only thing I know is that it's a type of damselfly. Damselflies are identifiable by their thinner bodies and wings, and their wings often rest at the top of the insect rather than spread to the sides. However, there are so many types of damselflies - if you do a bit more research I'm sure you can find the exact species. Awesome picture by the way!
Hello Vrushali and Welcome to the Project Noah community! You have to edit the spotting again and put the name of the place where you take the photo in the respective map window,ok? Thanks on adavance :-) We hope you like the website as much as we do. There are many aspects to the site and community. The best way to get started is to read the FAQs at http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you can find all the tips, advice and "rules" of Project Noah. You, like the rest of the community, will be able to suggest IDs for species that you know (but that have not been identified), and make useful or encouraging comments on other users' spottings (and they on yours). There are also "missions" you can join and add spottings to. See http://www.projectnoah.org/missions . A mission you should join is the http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/2165... to chose the best wild photo of 2018,only the spottings added to that mission are eligible.Note that most missions are "local". Be sure not to add a spotting to a mission that was outside of mission boundaries or theme :) Each mission has a map you may consult showing its range. We also maintain a blog archive http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we have posted previous articles from specialists from different geographical areas and categories of spottings, as well as wildlife "adventures". So enjoy yourself, share, communicate, learn. See you around :)
