    Beware! There are a LOT of dragonfly species. A whole chapter in my Brisbane area wildlife book is devoted to local dragonflies and it starts off by stating that it only covers the most common ones.

    David,

    Your dragonfly is Hemigomphus gouldii.

    I was wondering if you would have any objection if we used your dragonfly images on www.ecology-solutions.com.au/vic_dragonflies/. We are thinking of building an Australian-wide resource over time and may for the time being just start collecting images. We are happy to provide a photo credit and link to a website if necessary.

    Regards,

    Simon.
