Family Libellulidae

This is a forest species that was found on a small artificial pond at a hotel on the way to the Peace Pagoda climbing the path above Phewa Taal. Walking up a small trail there are a few small lodges where this one was found. There was a female but it only flew in briefly to mate unsuccessfully then left.
