Orthetrum migratum

Orthetrum migratum (Rosy Skimmer)

IUCN Status: Least Concern

Not a typical colouration, but it it's easy to identify this species by it's morphology: male abdomen evenly tapered, not constricted on segment 4".

Of course you can also look at the morphology of the alternate and reject it: "Only one row of cells in the space between IR3 and Rspl". Then it all becomes obvious.
