I enjoyed your video...so much wind..he was really hanging on! He has an unusual body shape...I have not seen any shaped like that in my woods. Right now it is downpouring rain here...I wonder how many damsels and dragons are lost in storms such as this? Very nice video, Pseudothemis!

Hello.
Thank you very much for your comment.
This dragonfly is a woman. She is well fat. But there is not it only with her. This kind of dragonfly does a similar figure entirely.
I show respect for your consideration to the dragonfly. The dragonfly cannot fold a wing like other insects. I am anxious about their safety under the strong wind, too.

Pleased to see a Lyriothemis. It is represented by 1 member in Sri Lanka which was originally photographed by me.
