Blue-tailed Forest Hawk

Blue-tailed Forest Hawk (Orthetrum triangulare, 鼎脉灰蜻).

Visit the streams or stagnant ponds on or around Yuelu Mountain from now to September and you would be sure to find these forest dragonflies. They are very common in the forested hills throughout much of China and much of southeast Asia.
