<DIV>Dear Renaud,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I used to get a similar one (female) from Southwest China which has identical color pattern with yours. I can only comfirm it is a Ischnura species and may be near to I. senegalensis.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best wishes,</DIV>

>Hello,

>This Spring I came across a couple of Ischnura elegans males, near Geneva, with strange thorax coloring, one had tiny

>That is the first time I witness this. Is anyone esle aware of such dranatic thorax coloring in that species?
