Forest elf dragonfly (Tetrathemis camerunensis) - male

I eventually went further down the track but was a long way behind everyone else so on my own. In the end I decide to turn back as it was pretty dark generally and I was not seeing a great deal. As it happens I saw more on my way back to the lodge.

This was the only time I photographed this species and I am very pleased to have it. I think it an attractive species too.

There appear to be few photos of this species on the internet, though it seems fairly widespread in Africa according to Wikipedia.
