Dragons & Damsels: Pantala flavescens - Emergence
http://dragonsndamsels.blogspot.com/2013/01/pantala-flavescens-emergence.html
A dragonfly-chaser blogs about Odonata of Borneo and other regions. Tuesday, 1 January 2013. Pantala flavescens - Emergence. Ithout realizing it two long years had passed since my last post! My first post for the new year 2013 is only my second "emergence" post - of arguably, the most common dragonfly in the world. In December 2012 I was lucky to find a few nymphs in a water tank and one night literally stumbled on an emergence in progress. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Dragons & Damsels: March 2009
http://dragonsndamsels.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
A dragonfly-chaser blogs about Odonata of Borneo and other regions. Sunday, 15 March 2009. Species Name: Raphismia bispina. Week on a short visit to the Borneo Paradise Eco-resort near Lahad Datu, Sabah I saw and photographed a small female libellulid on the mangrove edge which I had never seen before. When Rory Dow saw the photo which I emailed to him he said it looked like the female of Raphismia bispina. And I suddenly recalled seeing what I thought was a very skittish B. chalybea. At the same place.

Dragons & Damsels: December 2009
http://dragonsndamsels.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
A dragonfly-chaser blogs about Odonata of Borneo and other regions. Sunday, 20 December 2009. Species Name: Rhodothemis rufa. The first time I was able to rear a dragonfly larva up to emergence. However unfortunately although I guessed the day of emergence, I was too late to catch the start of the emergence process.On the morning of the larva's change to adulthood I woke up at 3:15 am but found that it had already fully emerged! I was only able to take photos of it hanging fully extended from the exuvia.
