thanks Hara babu and sumon Da for giving me the id...pied paddy skimmer.

Libellula luctuosa male

This image is dedicated to fellow TNian Kevin Seo as i found the ID of this skimmer by searching his photographs.


the image is not sharp as i shoot this near a pond with my 100-400mm lens handheld.i was not having the macro lens and even running short of time to change the 18-55 lens.
Taken near the Dhauli peace pagoda, the famous buddhist temple.

regards
Satya

Hi Satya babu,
This is a pied paddy skimmer. You can see this post of mine. The picture is not sharp but you have composed it very well. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hi Satya,
I also thought it is a Pied Paddy Skimmer but the yellow markings on the abdomen is missing which makes it look so different. I searched my book of dragonflies but could not find a matching one. Maybe it is a nymph. Great image among the green foliage. have to go there to find it. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.
TFS.
