White-legged Beauty - _TNY_1596

I believe this to be a female of one of three very similar species of damselfly in the Vestalis genus. They can really only be differentiated by closely examining the anal appendages so this is either a V. amethystina, a V. anne or a V. amoena.

 

Regardless of which exact species it is, I must say the soft green metallic look is very pretty and the clear wings with uncoloured pterostigma fit the look.

 

This one was seen while walking on the wooden walkway through the jungle near the "Emerald Pool" of the Khlong Thom district in Krabi, Thailand,
