supreme court ( 1948 – 1962 ) was a british thoroughbred racehorse and sire .

after winning the horris hill stakes as a two-year-old , supreme court was undefeated in four races as a three-year-old in 1951 , taking the chester vase and king edward vii stakes before beating a strong international field to win the inaugural king george vi and queen elizabeth stakes .

following his win in the most valuable race ever run in britain , supreme court was retired to stud , where he had some success as a sire of winners .

the 1974 act was challenged before the high court by way of writ petition under article 226 of the constitution . the challenge was primarily on two grounds . it was contended before the high court that the betting on the horse races not being gambling the state legislature , under entry 34 of list ii of the seventh schedule to the constitution , had no legislative competence to legislate the 1974 act . in other words the contention was that entry 34 being
betting and gambling
unless both betting and gambling are involved the state legislature has no legislative competence to make the law . it was also contended that the horse racing being a game of substantial skill , the provisions of the two acts were not applicable to horse races . the high court rejected both the contentions . the high court held the horse racing to be a game of chance , and as such gambling , on the following reasons : -
volume 6 of the encyclopaedia at page 68 onwards deals with the subject of horse - racing . thoroughbred horses with pedigree are selected and trained for races . horse - racing is a systematic sport where a participant is supposed to have full knowledge about the horse , jockey , trainer , owner , turf and the composition of the race . it would be useful to quote an extract from the encyclopaedia :

prime minister manmohan singh is reported to have commented ( february 23 ) on the failure of the supreme court to reach a unanimous judgment in the bihar assembly dissolution case . the effort to dilute the validity of the severity of the indictment by taking shelter behind the two dissenting judges may be good politics but makes no constitutional or legal sense inasmuch as some of the most historic and path - breaking verdicts of the supreme court have been only majority judgments , for example , in the kesavananda bharati and the bommai cases . it is always the majority judgment that is the binding verdict of the court and the law of the land .
the court will , however , remain majority catholic because five of the existing eight justices are catholic .

horse racing , sport of running horses at speed , mainly , thoroughbreds with a rider astride or standardbreds with the horse pulling a conveyance with a driver . these two kinds of racing are called racing on the flat and harness racing . some races on the flat involve jumping . . . . . .

mr . ashok desai , learned counsel for the state of tamil nadu , has contended that the
handicap horse races
introduce an element of chance and as such horse racing is not a game of skill . we do not agree . it is no doubt correct that in a handicap race the competitors are given advantages or disadvantages or weight , distance , time etc . in an attempt to equalize their chances of winning , but that is not the classic concept of horse - racing , according to which the best horse should win . the very concept of handicap race goes to show that there is no element of chance in the regular horse - racing . it is a game of skill . even in a handicap race - despite the assignment of imposts - the skill dominates . in any case an occasional handicap race in a race - club cannot change the natural horse - racing from a game of skill to that of chance .
the crucial question to be determined is whether a horse - race run on the turf of the club is a game of ` chance ' or a game of
mere skill
. the relevant pleadings before the high court in the writ petition were as under :
the winning horse is not determined by chance alone , but the condition , speed , and endurance of the horse , aided by the skill and management of the rider or driver , enter into the result . . . in our opinion the parimutuel system does not come within the constitutional inhibition as to lotteries . . . . ` in horse racing the horses are subject to human guidance , management , and urging to put forth their best efforts to win ' .
at the rate that donald trump’s administration is being investigated for corruption and possible coordination with a state actor hoping to influence the 2016 election , one could easily make the argument that perhaps trump shouldn’t be allowed to choose a nominee for the supreme court with so little time left in office .

it is obvious that the 1955 act was brought to control gambling in public streets and motor vehicles . it is further clear from the objects and reasons that the act did not intend to stop horse - racing , because even the prohibition on publications relating to horse - racing was sought to be omitted under the act .
if and when such a case arises , the court said , it would decide whether an exception is warranted .

his team registered an important victory when the supreme court ruled , on free - speech grounds , that federal trademark registrations may be granted even in most cases where they are considered derogatory . the high court’s unanimous ruling is a blow to the disparagement clause of the lanham act , linchpin of the case by which the u . s . patent and trademark office canceled the team’s federal trademark registrations for “redskins” in 2014 .
we allow the writ petitions and the civil appeal . the impugned judgment of the high court is set aside . we hold and declare that horse racing is a game of mere skill within the meaning of section 49 of the police act and section 11 of the gaming act . horse racing is neither
gaming
nor
gambling
as defined and envisaged under the two acts read with the 1974 act and the penal provisions of these acts are not applicable to the horse racing which is a game of skill . the 1985 act is ultra vires article 14 of the constitution and as such is stuck down .
judicial pronouncements on the subject are primarily of american courts . in people of monroe 85 alr 605 , it was held that the pari - mutuel betting on the result of horse races , did not violate a provision of the state constitution prohibiting lotteries . the court observed as under :
generally , the court allots one hour of argument time for each case , with each party speaking for 30 minutes .

the division of pari - mutuel wagering denied their application and the supreme court agreed , reasoning that : “in the absence of such a specific authorization , a county cannot initiate a referendum that will authorize the division to issue a license any more than the county could itself issue a slot machine gaming license . ”
gordon yorke , horse trainer : they just shut you out and the more you complain the more they take on personally and the more they make it tougher for you .
the definition of stud - horse poker , which has never been legislatively or judicially defined since its prohibition in 1885 , remains uncertain , as noted by one commentator : “the primary source of california ' s poker law lies in an 1885 amendment to section 330 prohibiting the playing of one form of poker , stud - horse poker . unfortunately , the legislature failed to describe the game , and today , more than 100 years later , stud - horse poker is no longer played ( at least , not by that name ) and an uncontroverted meaning of the term is lost in time . ” ( note , where will the buck stop on california penal code section 330 ? : solving the stud–horse poker conundrum ( 1988 ) 11 hastings comm . & ent . l . j . 95 , 96 , fn . omitted ( hereafter stud–horse poker conundrum ) . )
on september 28 , 2016 , the pennsylvania supreme court ruled that the local share assessment imposed under section 1403 of the pennsylvania race horse development and gaming act violated the uniformity clause of the pennsylvania constitution because casinos were taxed differently based upon the amount of their gross revenue . mount airy # 1 llc v . pennsylvania dep’t of rev . , no . 34 em 2015 , 2016 pa . lexis 2174 , * 3 - * 4 ( pa . sept . 28 , 2016 ) .
the u . s . government used treaties as one means to displace indians from their tribal lands , a mechanism that was strengthened with the removal act of 1830 . in cases where this failed , the government sometimes violated both treaties and supreme court rulings to facilitate the spread of european americans westward across the continent .
the supreme court ' s ruling , however , was neither followed by georgia nor enforced by the u . s . government . president andrew jackson , sensitive to georgia ' s claims of independence at a time when the states wielded considerable power , had no interest in enforcing the court ' s decree . the missionaries remained imprisoned until 1833 , when a new georgia governor negotiated for their release . the georgia cherokees themselves were forcibly relocated in 1838 , pursuant to a u . s . treaty , to present - day oklahoma (
the trail of tears
) . today , the substantive ruling in worcester is no longer binding : the supreme court holds that , to a certain extent , a state may regulate the indian territories within its boundaries .
the court of appeals admitted that the commission in fact maintained an adequate remedy on appeal for part of the trial court ' s order ; it may certainly appeal the trial court ' s issuance of declaratory judgment in appalachian racing ' s favor . but the panel determined that it did not possess an adequate remedy for the trial court ' s restraining order—a non - appealable interlocutory order . appalachian racing does not appear to dispute this aspect of the panel ' s analysis , so we are confident that the court of appeals was correct in determining the commission met its burden of showing no adequate remedy by appeal .
in view of the discussion and the authorities referred to by us , we hold that the horse - racing is a game where the winning depends substantially and preponderantly on skill .
now , you might think that asking such a question is a waste of time , given the fact that this supreme court seat has been vacant since antonin scalia’s death in february of 2016 . and you would be absolutely right . but do you want to hear the worst part ? gorsuch didn’t even give an answer .
schiller , the intellectual property attorney at boies schiller flexner in new york , is a lifelong fan of the team . he said the 4th circuit could rule on whether the team name was derogatory to a substantial composite of native americans when the registrations were granted beginning in the 1960s — the team argues they were not — but is more likely simply to overturn the lower court decision based on this supreme court ruling and leave it at that .
the court , in cherokee nation v . georgia , ruled that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the case and could not resolve it . the court began by sympathizing with the cherokees ' plight , acknowledging that they had been persecuted and marginalized by america ' s european settlers , then asserted that indian nations were both
foreign nations
and people within u . s . boundaries . in other words , the cherokee , though sometimes viewed as an independent nation , were also dependent people on the nation that envelopes them . thus , the court asserted that
foreign nations ,
as used in the constitution , could not include
indian nations .
because the constitution only authorizes the supreme court to hear cases brought by
foreign nations ,
not
indian nations ,
the court was not authorized to entertain this case and dismissed it . meanwhile , in 1830 , georgia passed another law requiring its citizens to obtain a state license before dwelling inside the cherokee nation . a group of missionaries residing there , including samuel austin worcester , refused to obtain such a license . the missionaries were known supporters of cherokee resistance to georgia ' s removal efforts . worcester and a fellow missionary were indicted by a georgia court , brought to trial , and convicted . worcester appealed to the u . s . supreme court , claiming that the georgia court lacked authority to convict them .
in a news conference in trenton on tuesday , mr . christie said he was “thrilled” by the decision of the court .
the federal rules of evidence , as well as rules in most states , generally bar courts from hearing juror testimony about deliberations after a trial is over . indeed , the supreme court just two years ago ruled that to allow an inquiry into jury deliberations would threaten the integrity of the jury system by inhibiting jurors ' discussions .
therefore , we conclude that act no . 199 , pub . actys 1933 , authorizing pari - mutuel betting on horse races , does not violate the constitutional prohibition against lotteries .
plaintiff , a california resident and leading owner of thoroughbred race horses , claimed a bay filly in a claiming race at churchill downs in louisville , kentucky . plaintiff filed a complaint seeking a declaration that certain kentucky thoroughbred racing regulations that restrict the transfer and racing of claimed thoroughbreds ( article 6 restrictions ) violate the commerce clause of the united states constitution . the trial court entered summary judgment in favor of the kentucky horse racing commission . the supreme court affirmed , holding ( 1 ) plaintiff had a sufficient case or controversy to sustain this action ; but ( 2 ) article 6 restrictions survive the strict scrutiny applicable to laws that appear facially discriminatory .
the court has decided to take on new jersey ' s case , arguing that states should get to make their own decisions .
fn 6 . the court concluded that
the defendants unjustifiably breached these contracts ; the plaintiff did not breach these contracts .
“the team is thrilled with today’s unanimous decision as it resolves the redskins’ long - standing dispute with the government , ” said team attorney lisa blatt in a statement emailed by the team . “the supreme court vindicated the team’s position that the first amendment blocks the government from denying or cancelling a trademark registration based on the government’s opinion . ”
“stud - horse poker” was added to the specific list of proscribed games in an 1885 amendment to the statute . ( stats . 1885 , ch . 145 , § 1 , p . 135 . ) section 330 does not itself define stud - horse poker . the legislative record reveals no committee reports or official statements regarding the 1885 amendment . at trial , the court admitted into evidence newspaper articles published in the 1880 ' s pertaining to stud - horse poker , which describe stud - horse poker as a form of five - card stud poker ( similar to that described in the 1947 opinion of the attorney general , quoted ante ) , but played as a percentage game . the article states : “of course the bank steadily eats a large hole in the purchased chips , the percentage being certain , and much greater than ‘splits ' in a square game of faro . ”
we have no hesitation in reaching the conclusion that the horse - racing is a sport which primarily depends on the special ability acquired by training . it is the speed and stamina of the horse , acquired by training , which matters . jockeys are experts in the art of riding . between two equally fast horses , a better trained jockey can touch the winning - post .
the state has twice passed laws attempting to legalize sports betting , but those efforts have been turned back in federal court multiple times . the latest defeat came in the us third circuit court of appeals in front of an en banc panel of judges in august .
this appeal by way of leave granted by the high court has been filed by the club . under the interim orders of this court , issued from time to time , the club is functioning and the horse races are being conducted . during the pendency of the appeal the tamil nadu legislature has enacted the madras race club ( acquisition and transfer of undertakings ) act , 1986 ( the 1986 act ) . the said act came into force on april 19 , 1986 . writ petitions under article 32 of the constitution challenging the validity of the 1986 act have been filed by the committee members of the club , horse owners and other interested persons .
a champion horse trainer who made headlines last year when she disappeared for three days has spoken out for the first time about an allegedly toxic culture of bullying and harassment in the racing industry .
we see considerable force in the contention of mr . parasaran that the acquisition and transfer of the undertaking of the club is arbitrary . the two acts were amended by the 1949 act and the definition of
gaming
was amended . the object of the amendment was to include horse racing in the definition of
gaming
. the provisions of the 1949 act were , however , not enforced till the 1974 act was enacted and enforced with effect from march 31 , 1975 . the 1974 act was enacted and enforced with effect from march 31 , 1975 . the 1974 act was enacted with a view to provide for the abolition of wagering or betting on horse races in the state of tamil nadu . it is thus obvious that the consistent policy of the state government , as projected through various legislations from 1949 onwards , has been to declare horse racing as gambling and as such prohibited under the two acts . the operation of the 1974 act was stayed by this court and as a consequence the horse races are continuing under the orders of this court . the policy of the state government as projected in all the enactments on the subject prior to 1985 shows that the state government considered horse racing as gambling and as such prohibited under the law . the 1985 act on the other hand declares horse racing as a public purpose and in the interest of the general public . there is apparent contradiction in the two stands . we do not agree with the contention of mr . parasaran that the 1985 act is a colourable piece of legislation , but at the same time we are of the view that no public purpose is being served by acquisition and transfer of the undertaking of the club by the government . we fail to understand how the state government can acquire and take over the functioning of the race club when it has already enacted the 1974 act with the avowed object of declaring horse racing as gambling ? having enacted a law to abolish betting on horse racing and stoutly defending the same before this court in the name of public good and public morality , it is not open to the state government to acquire the undertaking of horse racing again in the name of public good and public purpose . it is ex - facie irrational to invoke
public good and public purpose
for declaring horse racing as gambling and as such prohibited under law , and at the same time speak of
public purpose and public good
for acquiring the race club and conducting the horse racing by the government itself . arbitrariness is writ large on the face of the provisions of the 1985 act .
the court of appeals granted the commission ' s request for a writ of prohibition . the appellate panel concluded that there was no irreparable injury if the trial court ' s restraining order remained in place , but instead issued the writ under the “special cases” writ category—a limited category of writs granted in instances when the “orderly administration of justice” so requires . in issuing the writ , the panel determined that the trial court ' s order threatened the integrity of the robust separation of powers enshrined in the kentucky constitution , so this matter is most accurately deemed a “special case” warranting this form of equitable relief . appalachian racing disagrees , and now appeals to this court as a matter of right , asking us to determine whether the court of appeals overreached in prohibiting the circuit court from enforcing its order . we conclude it did not .
but back to today ' s laugh - it - up hearing . the answer to the question is obvious : a horse - sized duck . you can distract it with a loaf of bread .
florida ' s supreme court on thursday ruled against efforts by gretna racing in gadsden county to add slot machine to its card room , simulcast and “live racing” facility . the unanimous decision by the court means dog tracks and jai - alai frontons in gadsden and seven other florida counties ( brevard , duval , lee , hamilton , palm beach , st . lucie and washington ) will be unable to get slot machines without legislative approval , despite each county having approved the gambling devices in local referendums .
amici curiae ( or “friend of the court” ) briefs are due one week after the new jersey merits brief is filed . this would make
because the board ' s decision was supported by competent evidence and was based on a correct interpretation of market value , the court of appeals erred by reversing it and remanding this matter for a new hearing . [ 8 ] accordingly , we reverse the judgment of the court of appeals and remand the matter with instructions to return it to the district court for reinstatement of its judgment affirming the board ' s decision .
“we are pleased the supreme court appears to have responded favorably to our arguments as to why they should hear this important case , ” said geoff freeman , the president and chief executive of the gaming association . “and we are hopeful their engagement will provide further encouragement for congress to take the steps necessary to create a regulated sports betting marketplace in the united states . ”
fourthly and the last but not the least responsible player has been the supreme court itself . how could the court allow the beneficiaries of an unconstitutional act to get away ? the primary duty of the court is to adjudicate disputes and to provide relief and remedy to victims of injustice and unconstitutional acts . in this case ,
in view of the ground realities ,
pragmatic
considerations , etc . , elections based on the unconstitutional dissolution were allowed to be held and the petitioner or public interest got no relief from the apex court . that election results brought a stable government is another matter . it is worth considering whether the courts are not putting too much emphasis on laying down high principles for future generations making immediate adjudication of a dispute and relief to petitioners and public interest a casualty .
mr leggett and mr coleman strenuously denied all the allegations but said it would be inappropriate to comment further because the matters are before the court .
the club raised the same arguments before the court of appeals . although the court of appeals concluded that the evidence supported the board ' s classification of the property as commercial , it agreed with the club ' s other contentions . therefore , it reversed and remanded for a new hearing .
( in bank . opinion by sullivan , j . , expressing the unanimous view of the court . ) [ 15 cal . 3d 131 ]
lorna knowles : pam webber is another successful trainer who is suing racing authorities . with more than 30 years experience her career came to a halt in 2012 when she fell off a horse on the track .
the first issue is whether , as appellants contend , the term stud - horse poker refers to stud poker , and , if so , whether stud poker embraces all forms of poker other than draw poker .
it is also considered desirable to bring the language of the provisions relating to gaming in the city police act in line with that in the gaming act and also to combine the sections relating to gaming on horse race and on other forms of gaming which are separate in the respective acts at present . opportunity has also been taken to omit certain provisions which prohibit publications relating to horse races as they have been held ultra vires the state legislatures by the madras high court . it is proposed to amend these two acts so as to give effect to the above objects .
the question is whether , having regard to his approach , betting on horse races is of gambling nature . we are told that it is not , because betters bring to bear on betting considerable knowledge of each horse as to its ancestry or pedigree , history of its performance in the previous races , various other factors and related circumstances and skill based on such knowledge and experience in horse racing . we , of course , know the plethora of publications , information by means of booklets , pamphlets and even books and the knowledge about horses and horse races all over the world for centuries and the tremendous enthusiasm exhibited by those race - goers who in deciding to stake on a particular horse , know everything about it which enables them to judge that it may in all probability come out successful in a race . even so , if any skill is involved in the process , it is not the skill of the horse but of the one who bets on it and , based on such skill , the better cannot say with any certainty that a horse without fail will in any case come out successful . it may be that the knowledge and experience one would have or skill of one who bets on a horse may with their use eliminate as far as possible , the odd chance of failure and ensure to a degree so to speak , a probability of success ; but the most astute better by using his substantial skill may still fail to be successful in his stake . the element of chance is not out weighed by any skill of the better or the horse . the figures we were shown would only show that successful betting on horses sometimes , not necessarily every time goes with substantial skill of the one who stakes . but we are not persuaded that betting on horses is a game of substantial skill . horse racing is a competition on speed which will depend on a variety of changing and uncertain factors which , with the best of knowledge and skill of the better , cannot reduced to a certainty , though of course by such knowledge and skill the probability of success of a particular horse may be approximated . in our opinion , therefore , betting on horses does involve an element of gambling and we are unable to agree that staking on horses with expert knowledge and skill of the better is not betting involving an element of gambling .

diplacodes trivialis , is a species of dragonfly in the family libellulidae , known as the chalky percher or ground skimmer .

it is found in china , japan , india and southwards to new guinea and australia .

diplacodes trivialis breeds in ponds , wet rice fields , shallow lakes , drainage ditches and similar habitats .

it is one of the commonest dragonflies found in asia , found in both the plains and hills , in both dry and wet areas .

it can be seen far from water and is usually found settled on bare spots or footpaths in open spaces .

males have a whitish patch near the base of their hindwings , distinctly visible in flight .

otherwise clear wings , without apical or basal markings , and the creamy white anal appendages and deep pruinescence in adults , will help to distinguish this species from others in this genus .

diplacodes trivialis . this really is the species that got me interested in odonata in the first place . there were three of them once in my back garden and i sat and watched them pick off small insects . it was amazing to watch . so common , yet so difficult to photograph well .
body pattern is somewhat similar to diplacodes nebulosa , which however has dark wing tips . although significantly smaller they may be confused with orthetrum sp . from a photo , which have a similar yellow body and black markings .
red list category & criteria : least concern ver 3 . 1 year assessed : 2010 assessor / s : subramanian , k . reviewer / s : clausnitzer , v . , dow , r . a . & allen , d . justification : diplacodes trivialis is a widespread and common species that breeds in ponds , lakes , marshes , irrigation canals , rice fields etc . and is assessed as least concern . conservation actions : no conservation measures are needed .

note : please inform dennis paulson ( dennispaulson @ comcast . net ) of any errors of commission or omission . thank you .
we were recently presented with a list of
mystery synonyms
of species that had been posted on inaturalist but were not in this world list . considerable effort was expended to solve this problem , and it led to a substantial number of errors being corrected on this list . we thank matthew muir , greg lasley and john abbott for calling our attention to this and the opportunity to make the corrections . the list was considered updated as of 21 september 2017 .
subsequently an attempt was made to have the list of world odonata used by the iucn in its red list assessments conform to the world odonata list , and this also pointed out some errors in the wol . we thank caroline pollock of iucn for making this possible and k - d dijkstra , viola clausnitzer and rory dow for furnishing information of importance as we worked out the problems . as of 30 march 2018 , the list is considered updated .
genera modified after 30 march 2018 : amphicnemis , anisogomphus , argia , coeliccia , coenagrion , cora , drepanosticta , euthore , forcepsioneura , heliogomphus , indocypha , mattigomphus , microgomphus , miocora , nososticta , protosticta . genera in which the changes involve only addition of synonyms or orthographic changes are not listed here .
thanks to john abbott ( special thanks ) , yahya abdal - aziz , pekka alestalo , matjaz bedjanic , viola clausnitzer , prosenjit dawn , cyrille deliry ( special thanks for ongoing detective work ) , k - d dijkstra , rory dow , günther fleck , heinrich fliedner , ryo futahashi , dirk gassmann , arjen van het hof , marcel hospers , rasmus hovmoller , kwang - soo jung , vincent kalkman , oleg kosterin , noppadon makbun , alan manson , andreas martens , michael may , jose martin meléndez quinto , sarah miller , johann hendrik nüss , fons peels ( special thanks ) , felix reimann , richard rowe , dominic rupprich , csilla vajda , don - alexander van bergen , nancy van der poorten , martin villet , liang - jong wang , florian weihrauch , keith wilson , reiner work , xin yu , ondrej zicha and dan zimberlin ( special thanks ) for corrections and additions over the years . and thanks to martin lindeboom for his early contributions to this list .
this is an ongoing attempt to list all of the valid species of odonata . it is based on past compilations by the authors listed below and constant additional literature research . it includes the author and year of description for all genera and species . it also includes all synonyms for new world species ( from garrison 1991 ) and the great majority of synonyms for african and australian species , but the effort for eurasia is still quite incomplete . nevertheless , we consider the list a good starting point for estimates of biodiversity in this insect order . we must also point out that many typographical errors were introduced into the list when it was first typed , and as we continue to find these we correct them , but some of them persist . the list is not error - free . in fact , it is presently in a stage of making changes almost every week as these errors are discovered by the work of cyrille deliry , and
we have been asked if there is any way that revisions of the list can be shown clearly . right now this is impractical , both because the revisions are frequent , at least several times per month , and we have not come up with a method that would make this both easy on the compiler and easily recognized by the user . because of the volume of changes , we also cannot cope with the responsibility of informing other workers who are maintaining their own versions of the list about every little change ( e . g . , correcting typographical errors in names or dates ) . we are listing the genera in which substantive changes ( e . g . , new species , new synonymies , taxonomic changes ) have been made since the last
edition .
we have not recognized any subspecies of odonata . instead , we have listed all named subspecies as synonyms of the species under which they were named . we are not able to judge the validity of these subspecies , and as many of them have been questioned , we chose to treat them all in the same fashion .
the list includes zygoptera through coenagrionidae , then anisozygoptera for epiophlebiidae , then anisoptera . within each suborder the families are in some semblance of phylogenetic order , then the genera and species are in alphabetical order within the family . indented names ( not indented very far on some browsers ) indicate ( a ) generic placement in the original description if different from the current generic placement , and ( b ) synonyms following

this species probably is one of , if not the most , common species of dragonfly in khon kaen . at certain times of the year these things are everywhere . i am talking , of course , about
the male starts off yellow and looks identical to the female . but as it matures it becomes a powdery blue colour ( see below ) . segments 9 - 10 are black and the caudal appendages are white . it is easy to identify and they like to stick closely to the ground , making photography difficult . they are also extremely skittish and will often fly away at the slightest movement .
here is a sub - adult male that is half - yellow , half - blue . it will eventually turn the same colour as the above specimen .
the female is also extremely common and is very similar to the young male , except the anal appendages differ .
one morning at a large exposed pond in khao yai np , there were literally hundreds of teneral females that had just emerged . it was really strange as they all seemed to be females . they looked amazing , with their ' fresh ' wings glistening in the early morning sunshine .
here is a specimen caught in a cobweb . it shows just how much those ' fresh ' wings glisten .
sorry , that was a terrible pun . this is a really good close up of the female ' s head . it shows just how amazing they are to look at . i took this photo about 2 1 / 2 years ago ad i really fell in love with macro work after this ( this photo is the same as my photo at the top of the screen ) .
this female , which incidentally was resting on my hand , was munching away on a small damselfly . however , i can ' t really tell where the mouth starts and the damselfly ends . . .
if you want to see this dragonfly , simply go to a body of water and you ' re sure to find some .
i am too lazy to write about my past , but i now love photographing dragonflies , manchester city football club , fishing and , of course , my girlfriend .

scientists aim to describe a single ' tree of life ' that reflects the evolutionary relationships of living things . however , evolutionary relationships are a matter of ongoing discovery , and there are different opinions about how living things should be grouped and named . eol reflects these differences by supporting several different scientific ' classifications ' . some species have been named more than once . such duplicates are listed under synonyms . eol also provides support for common names which may vary across regions as well as languages .
common along coastal regions from brisbane to darwin . their range extends throughout tropical and sub - tropical south - east asia to as far as india .
mature males are distinctively pruinose ( bluish , powdery substance ) on the thorax and most of the abdomen ( except about the last third ) with matching green - blue eyes . when immature the males are colored similar to females , predominantly yellow with black markings and mostly black and the end of the tail ( except the anal appendages , which are yellow ) .
like others of this genus , the perchers like to do just that . males will rest on vegetation close to the water surface around breeding sights waiting for passing females .
