Great - damsel looks like a cross between a dragon and a damsel - very strange looking. Love the giraffe weevil.

apart from the folded wings I would have taken it for a smaller Dragon as we don't get Damsels with flattened bodies in the UK. Love the cartoon character in the last shot!

Thanks for your comments, Toby, Stephen.

@Toby, actually, i am not sure if it's a damsel or dragon. The only reason i called it a damsel was because of its folded wings :D

very nice set !! Love the giraffe weevils!! ;-)

great shots, Kurt.
I like the inflight shot.. nice action. They must be from the states.. they keep to the right while driving.
Super color on #1. a dual-tone. .. yellow and gold.

Rhinocypha pelops (Laidlaw, 1936) is the nearest I can find, maybe you should consult this guide:

Thanks, Toby. Wow..so many pages of it :D...Rhinocypha xxx for sure. I went through all of the Rhinocypha's but there was no exact match though...
