Dawn. Trithemis aurora, Crimson Marsh Glider, Taman Botani Perdana, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
It's always a joy to walk in the former Lake Gardens of Kuala Lumpur, now called the Taman Botani Perdana. Lots of plants of course, and also ponds and rivulets. All very attractive to humans and insects alike.
Here's a Crimson Marsh Glider, Trithemis aurora. I'd first taken it to be a Violet Dropwing, Trithemis anulata, but Christian Dreifert (see below) points out 'annulata' doesn't occur in these parts. I'm most grateful to him.
