_Lestoidea_ (genus – for certain) – species? wonderful gorgeous '... bluestreak (damselfly)' .
If possible please help to identify which species. I will again work on this species identification too .
And then if possible attempt to confirm the species identification .
Au Faunal Directory genus page: https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/Lestoidea;LESTOIDEIDAE .
Mossman Gorge, River side upstream near the main River viewing platform .
This individual became used to me not threatening it and then perched on my wet–from–swimming big toe while i was sitting photographing it ! I have more photographs with this happening – though these photographs uploaded are i think and hope the best positioned and focussed i have made for identification purposes .
I understand four formally described species live in this wet tropics bio-region .
