These dragons are a bigger problem to identify than I ever realized. The females are even worse. I have a folder of 200 images of half a dozen different species that I cannot put names to. Dave

Thanks Dave, I had a look at the pictures and I agree, I hadn't realised there were lots of similar ones. I also found a Common name for it so have added that. I left off the sub-species as I found no way to verify it and PN only goes down to species level anyway, unless there is a clear visible difference which can easily be seen.

Pretty sure this is ramburii. On gigantia the wing color only extends 2/3rd along the wing, just past the nodus and well before the pterostigma. Dave

Wonderful! I love the detail of the wing venation!
