Petaluridae Libellulidae -
Small (40mm) red dragonfly.
Wetlands
Red dragonflies, commonly known as Jarloomboo to the Gooniyandi (Fitzroy Crossing), announce the start of Moonnggoowarla—the dry season and cold weather time. It is amazing that dragonflies can fly forwards, sideways, backwards and hover (sort of like a helicopter). It is said that Di Vinci wrote many papers on the possibility of such an aircraft being possible after he observed the dragonfly.
