Nice pick-up, Stuart. One of my favourite dragonflies - so tiny. And not very common.

Hi again Stuart - looks like you were at about 1,250 m elevation. Can you tell me what the habitat was like. I expect the dragonfly was around a heavily vegetated boggy seepage/swamp or the margins of a tiny creek?

Spot on Harvey! Tis a fav patch of mine dominated by the shrub Leptospermum arachnoides. My shoes are still recovering from the silt bog conditions.
