Dragonfly

During a heavy downpour late afternoon, I noticed this Dragonfly seeking shelter from the heavy rain in the White Stinkwood outside our lounge window.

As soon as the rain stopped, I went outside to photograph this rain-drenched specimen.

It is of the family Libellulidae, a Pantala (Pantala flavescens), also referred to as Global Skimmer & Wandering Glider.

This Dragonfly is considered to be the most widespread on the planet.
