From the user's comments: Blue Skimmers (Orthetrum caledonicum (Brauer, 1865)), LIBELLULIDAE, top Swamp Tigertail (Synthemis eustalacta (Burmeister, 1839)), SYNTHEMISTIDAE, bottom This was reported to Günter Theischinger at the time. Günter believed the "mismatch” was probably the first record of an attempted copulation between species belonging to different FAMILIES. He used the picture in a presentation at the Worldwide Dragonfly Association's symposium in Namibia in May, 2007.
