This individual appears to be a male, as indicated by its terminal appendages. Good photos of a very handsome dragonfly, Luis!

Wow! I've never seen eyes like that on a Dragonfly! I saw and liked the photo Juan Carlos put up in June, but didn't realize it had eyes like that. Must have crossed with a Tabanid…...
