I only had two very brief encounters with the magnificent Ceriagrion corallinum at two nearby sites; the first is a tiny pond with water lilies in a fairly open area, the second a pond overgrown with tall vegetation, in which it was very difficult to move, also in an open area.It is impossible to confuse […]

Ceriagrion rubellocerinum, Coenagrionidae, fait bien sûr penser, surtout par son nom d’ailleurs, à Ceriagrion cerinorubellum que l’on trouve largement répandu en Asie.

Personnellement, je trouve la version asiatique beaucoup plus spectaculaire.Il n’y a pas de risque de confusion avec un autre Coenagrionidae

Acisoma trifidum (Libellulidae) est une petite surprise car je ne pensais pas qu’il puisse être si différent des autres Acisoma que j’avais rencontrés en Afrique, soit A. inflatum et A. variegatum. Ou même de celui que je connais encore mieux pour l’avoir souvent rencontré en Asie, Acisoma panorpoides. Sur toutes mes photos, la partie distale

Acisoma trifidum (Libellulidae) is quite a surprise, as I did not think it could be so different from the other Acisoma I had come across in Africa, namely A. inflatum and A. variegatum. Or even from the one I know even better, having often encountered it in Asia, Acisoma panorpoides. In all my photos, the
