A long time since I posted here, and I haven't even got anything new to show. Here a photo though from June 2009, Xalapa in Mexico:

Erland,
That is a nice shot of a Promachus robber fly (probably P. bellardii); great lighting & color! I very much enjoyed the photos of your Mexico trip (one of my favorite places!). Interestingly, your 'dragonfly friend' Rosser Garrison is also my friend and former colleague; I'm recently retired from the Calif. Dept. Food & Agric. -- where Rosser still works.
Cheers,
Eric

Eric, thank you very much for the species (genus) ID.
This was the first time i met Rosser, he is very friendly and an authority on Neotropical Odonata. It was a great experience to visit Mexico, and although I've seen a few of the species before in Texas, most I saw was all new to me.
Rosser has done a book on all American dragonflies, dealing with each genus (I got that book during the visit), and he expect to have one similar ready this year about the Damselflies.
