Gomphidae
Whoa, long time since I last posted... But this one is a beauty(:
Paragomphus capricornis is a rather rare species in Singapore since we don't really have many sandy banks which the larvae need to emerge.
But we seem to have found a breeding spot, because we spotted both the female and the male today:
The first picture is of the female and the second of the male. The difference is the tip of the abdomen, because the male has a hook downwards while the female doesn't. You can also see the sexual organs of the male if you look at it sideways, it is approximately where the thorax ends and the abdomen begins. (:
Also spotted some other species today, and we will probably go for a trip up to Kota Tinggi for more odonata next week ^^
