Field Notes
Description:
Originally I thought this was Camacinia gigantea (sultan dragonfly) because the wing pattern of red and clear, and position of pterostigma look similar. The range also makes in plausible. [Camacinia gigantea is widely distributed from India to Viet Nam and southwards to New Guinea]. I am now unsure of the species because the basic wing shape looks different than images I've been able to find.
Habitat:
Spotted in large semi-urban yard/garden next to a disturbed remnant patch of forest. This is in the equatorial tropics of northern New Guinea.
