55. Leptogomphus gestroi (Selys, 1891)

No: 55 / Family: Gomphidae / Genus: Leptogomphus
Name: Leptogomphus gestroi Gestro's Clubtail แมลงปอเสือปลายแผ่ธรรมดา
Habitat: Upland forested streams
Province(s): Chiang Mai
In flight: April / Sightings (by me): Rare
Easily confused with: N/A

Another uncommon species that I managed to spot while I was wandering around Doi Inthanon, was a teneral Leptogomphus gestroi. It was the only one I managed to spot but I was able to get good photos of it. I am not sure what colours it will be when it fully matures but it gives a good idea of the markings to the thorax and the abdomen.
