Field Notes

Description:

Medium-sized female dragonfly with an orange abdomen, dark body and head, and black wingtips.

Habitat:

Our backyard, coastal south-east Queensland.

Notes:

I originally ID'd this as a female Fiery Skimmer (Orthetrum villosovittatum), but looking at it again (Sep 2019) I think I got it wrong. Not sure what it is.
