Hi Muhammad,

Almost everything about the dragonfly in your photo suggests to me that it is a Wandering Glider, Pantala flavescens.
The problem is the apparent posture of the dragonfly - P. flavescens always hangs vertically when it perches, and does not sit horizontally as shown here. Is it possible that the photo is the wrong way up? (The positioning of the legs would seem to suggest that this is the case).

Roy.

I think it is the wrong way up. Wink
Sorry for misrepresenting and thanks again for the help. Smile


Muhammad
