Dragonflies of Vietnam 2012 & 2018
All these observations, « stolen » during a classic tourist trip, were made in a triangle whose apex is Hanoi and the base, near the Chinese border, would be stretched between Lao Cai and Cao Bang.
It was a « demanding » visit, fast, almost always in the mountains, in strong heat, on steep terrain, often slippery and difficult, on trails or crossing torrents or streams. 2 days of rain in Sapa certainly limited the discoveries.
I don’t know of an official list of Vietnamese odonates. On iNaturalist, there are 5,463 observations of 289 species to date, which is certainly far from the actual count.
