The Palemouth Shorttail Dragonfly has the light blue body with black tip. It head is dark metallic
colour. It is a small dragonfly.

- This dragonfly can only be found on pond and still waters. They fly in a
short distance and always return to the same perch. The above picture was taken
in a pond in Wishart in a hot summer afternoon.
-
- Most reference said they are common, we only found them occasionally on a
pond in Wishart. May be we overlooked and mixed them up with other blue
dragonflies.
