Here be Dragons
There have been 1600 insect species described in the Galapagos Islands, ten of which are indigenous Dragonflies and Damselflies. The Islands have very little permanent fresh water so it is not an ideal place for aquatic species. However some of these species have adapted to survive as larvae in brackish water.
This is a Striped Saddlebags, Tramea calverti, a common dragonfly found around lagoons.
