There are two very similar species of these skimmers; the males are easiest to tell apart. The one pictured above is female. In going through old images, I came across a picture of a male that I had forgotten I had - initially I had rejected it as unsuitable when it was the only one I had, having taken better images of the femalelater. I am posting it now, as it enables me to identify these as Flame Skimmers, the male of which has the basal half of the wings orange/amber, while the similar male Neon Skimmer has only the basal 1/4 that color.

Neat pictures and fascinating write-up about them. They are all neat pictures.
