Lathrecista asiatica asiatica (Fabricius, 1798)
Photo taken in Sabah (Malaysia) on 2007-09-12

This male was perching beside a shallow monsoon drain with milky water of only 4 inches deep. Near by were 3 other male.

Notice a big fat louse sucking at the bottom thorax. Perhaps because infected with these lice, this Lathrecista asiatica has serious skin disease (see next photo). Lice is a common parasitic found on dragonflies.
