I truly defer to your experience Ashish. My nursery experience here in the US led me to call the papery leaved plants caladiums while calling the rubbery leaved plants Elephant ears, making the elephant ear the hardier of the two. All in all, they go by the same scientific name, right?

Maybe a Black Tipped Darner, not sure.
Sure it is genus Aeshna
look at Aeshna tuberculifera (bugguide.net)
