The Golden Orange Female Dragonfly With Dark Wing Tips

This golden orange dragonfly is good looking, isn't it?

This dragonfly had been spotted back in July while on a dragonfly hunting trip with Robin and Wei Ling.  After taking a few photos each, we stood around the dragonfly and tried to figure out which dragonfly species this could be.  The markings on the wing tips had us thinking for a minute that perhaps it is the female of the Cratilla metallica.....

But then Robin asked, "Isn't the female Cratilla metallica darker in colour?  Can you remember?"  I tried to search the images in my head and think, but was uncertain.  We could not be entirely sure of the id of this dragonfly.  Robin was quite certain it is possibly another species.

And thanks to Robin, he had recently had Rory Dow confirm the id of this dragonfly to be the female of the Lyriothemis biappendiculata of the family Libelliludae.

So here's another species to add to the Checklist for Langkawi.  Yippeeeee!

Thanks a million to both Robin and Wei Ling!
