Some unexpected records

I'm slowly adding in new records of Dragon and Damselflies from Oe-Cusse and in the process learning more about their behaviors and improving my overall knowledge of the different sites I visit along the way. So far I have learned that the best time of the year to spot Dragonflies in Oe-Cusse is in April - March (the months following the last rains, which tend to be in February). During the peak of the dry season, you can still spot them in Pante Macassar, Lifau (kolam xina, paddy rice field) in July is during the mornings from 9am - 12pm. In other sites like Aosnak river, Suco Nipane (5-15 meter above sea level) the best time in July has proven to from 10am - 3pm. The Aosnak site tends to be packed with birds (mainly swifts starting at 4pm - 5pm) at these times you tend to find D. trivialis.

The Odanatans I'm still to document and are known to occur here in Oe-Cusse are:
1-Agriocnemis femina 2- Austroallagma sagittiferum 3- Diplacodes haematodes 4-Orthetrum caledonicum 5- Orthetrum glaucum 6- Orthetrum pruinosum 7- Trithemis festiva 8- Trithemis aurora 9- Trithemis lilacina 10- Indolestes lafaeci

So far I have recorded 12 species, but the Aosnak site has proved to be by far the best coastal site to do some "odanating" during the dry season. There I have recorded: Orthetrum Sabina - Orthetrum testaceum - Tramea stenoloba - Neurothemis ramburii
