Royal Tigertail (1/3)

Odonata: Synthemistidae

Parasynthemis regina  

Driving up to Mount Glorious, I had always noticed a small dam just past Jollys Lookout and so I stopped to see if any dragonflies had found it. The place was buzzing, literally, with bees all over the place and half a dozen dragonflies all chasing one another. One got tired and perched at my feet in the warm sunlight. It was a Royal Tigertail.
