I don't know much about identifying dragonflies. Is this a Great Blue Skimmer? This little guy was very friendly. Spent a great deal of time perched on my foot, posing and letting me photograph him. He even let me lean over and photograph him from the front. When I got up, he flew away and landed again on my sarong.
