It may have died of old age. Well. at least it stayed still long enough to take a great shot. ;-)

Yes it might only be of old age! It is a beautiful one.

It was begging during its dealth. Its both hands were holding together.

With hands held together as if in prayers, dragonfly's last words were, "I have live a wonderful life. Now I shall rest in peace and I shall see you later in heaven".

It looks a great specimen. Perhaps it may have got exhausted after been drawn to the lights at your place. I am the first to photograph Macrodiplax cora in Sri Lanka - of course it was a reddish male. Good to see the female.
