User's notes

_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 . 2014 November 4th 1:27–2 pm .
