Yellow Emperor

An Australian Emperor Dragonfly (Hemianax papuensis) up close. They are also known as "Yellow Emperors".

 

These are large and very territorial; they can often be seen scrapping over their plot, chasing away any intruder that dares to cross its path. There was a light shower that day, hence the little droplets on its face.
