PALE HUNTER

Family Gomphidae

A Pale Hunter at Minnie Water, NSW on January 2nd 2016.

There was a little dragonfly, that I thought looked like a Jade Hunter, near Minnie Water NSW so as they are fairly common nearer to home I didn't spend much time photographing it.When I looked at the photos later, I realized it was actually a Pale Hunter! The large pale marking on segment 7 is distinctive. I have since seen another one at the Richmond River near Kyogle in NSW.
