Thanks, Ajmal, will change it to evansi :-) You get dusty feet outdoors. No way! ;-) I share more photos over at G+ if you are there.

Hey Nicola, I'm not convinced this is elegans - looks more like me to be I. evansi as elegans is more Europe based but evansi ranges around the Arabian peninsula. You are very right about the amount of time people spend inside malls when they can enjoy the beauty of nature outdoors :) BTW, are you on FB. I really like your photo collection and interest. Do hook up if you are..... Thx, Ajmal

Thanks, Daniele. I surprised some Kuwaitis with photos of the Damsel & Dragonflies. Poor fellows don't even know that they have over 400 insect species in Kuwait. Too bad when you spend most of your time inside malls ;-)

Juts as the scientific name says: so elegant! A lovely shot.
