Number: ---
Family: Gomphidae
Genus: Unknown
Species: Unknown
Common name(s):N/A
Synonyms: N/A
Habitat: Rocky forested stream
Province(s) sighted: Pa La-U Waterfall (Pratchup Khirikhan)
Sightings (by me): Solitary female
In flight (that I have seen): May (2014)
Species easily confused with: -
Whilst I was at Pa La-U waterfall, I was lucky enough to spot another emergence. This time, it was a medium-sized Gomphid. In the blazing sunshine, the dragonfly emerged rather quickly. Unfortunately, it is a female and at this stage (lacking colour, markings and other attributes) it is extremely difficult to confidently ID. So, though exciting to watch my first ever Gomphid emerge, I am annoyed that I can't ID it. Hopefully, somebody somewhere may know. For now, I can only call it Unknown Gomphid.
Now fully emerged and stretched.
Appendages (close up) ...
Whilst 'pumping' her abdomen straight, she emitted a clear liquid which came out in rather large quantities.
Hopefully someone can ID this specimen or at least determine the genus (I have no idea).
