[Odonata-l] More oviposition photos

[Bob Reimer]

I've put a few more oviposition photos up on Flicker from my trip to
Mauritius a year ago.  If anyone is familiar with the species shown, I'd
appreciate confirmation my identification of the dragonfly as Anax guttatus
and any clues as to what the damselflies are.  I can't find anything quite
like them in the references I've got.

Damselflies oviposit on canal bank ... While the male appears that it may be
supporting itself on the female, I'm pretty sure it's actually on the bank.
A male intruding on the pair is out of focus in the picture.

Damselflies in tandem on a water lily petal.  This shows the female's vulvar
scale fairly clearly,

If anyone needs higher resolution photos for indentification, I'd be happy
to make them available.
