Comment Great shot Nirmal, but we need the id of the species (see my earlier comment on file description). I don't think it's a skimmer. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:08, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Charles, I categorized as per your comment, I also think it's a Darter (Sympetrum). --Nirmal Dulal (talk) 04:13, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We should have species, not just genus for FP. Should be easy if you can find someone with Nepalese odonata knowledge. 21:32, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Author has updated description and category with proper species. -- Nirmal Dulal (talk) 07:21, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support Nice. It looks like the right one is not flapping its wings. Or slower than the left one. -- -donald- (talk) 12:50, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
