Yes. I observed quite a few times. :) BTW, I have few unidentified dragonfly spottings (all these may be same species) : https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/425676444 https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/2122979207 https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/1968227166 Can you (any of you) please have a look and comment if possible. These are very abundant in our area. I observe many every day :)
