On April 30 on my way to Pia Oac Mountain close to the weak bridge along the TL212 about 10 km south of the mountain I checked a small stream by the roadside. It has a small several square meter muddy wet area adjacent to it, due to some seeping water, with low plants. I was amazed to see three males of the very same species I had seen in Yen Bai only a few days earlier for the first time:
Hylaeothemis clementia. This was clearly its habitat of preference, with the three males all holding territories in close proximity (about 1.5m apart). Here are a few shots to show what they look like when mature.
