Sounds great Kate, thanks :)

On second thoughts, this one might be the Acacia Sprite (Pseudagrion acaciae), based on the back of the eyes being greenish, not orange/red. http://www.warwicktarboton.co.za/dfpgs/025acaciae.html I have photos of what probably is the same one, waiting for ID, so I will confirm this when the ID comes through.

Oh one more :) Whops! :P
