Rhyothemis triangularis - Damaged by Rain

Below photograph shows a newly emerged male individual of Rhyothemis triangularis. This photograph was taken in the morning at a pond. It looks like this male individual was successfully emerged from a larva in the night. However, this individual was caught in the rain right after its larval emergence, causing its fresh and delicate wings stuck together by the rain water.

Rhodothemis rufa - Unsuccessful Larval Emergence

I spotted this dead dragonfly at a retention pond of a residential area in Kajang. This dead dragonfly is of an unsuccessful larval emergence. It looks like the larval emergence took place at least 2 days ago. Close inspection of the dead dragonfly reveals that it is a male individual of Rhodothemis rufa
