I examined and finally detected no parasites on my dragonfly. Yes, I am not a dragonfly doctor nor a scientist, but just a curious hiker at Cerok Tokun.
I came across this interesting fact in Gallicissa: Dragonflies do serve as hosts for a parasite. This may, according to study, affect their ability to fly, their ability to reproduce, and their ability to defend their territories.
I observed my dragonfly under a microscopic view, and did not see any parasite under the wings.

It was then still a hero and a strong predator in the jungle. As a hero, it looked at me cautiously for this was only our first encounter. And it would never know that once upon a time, there was a guy who took the effort to confirm its health status.

Beautiful photos of the dragonfly, rainfield. I didn't know that parasite can live under the dragonfly's wings..
Beautiful photos, I had no idea that dragonflies had parasites. I will have to look at them a little closer next summer. Thank you for the information Rainfield.

Always a fun exercise to track dragon fly down
Wonderful shot, Rain! Thank you for making us aware about the parasites! I'll observe...
Hi, rainfield. Dragonfly says thank you for helping him check his health condition. Now that he is fine, he is ready for a take-off to the skies.
Oh, how can you tell? I don't understand. Or are you making a joke?
How? *confused*
Thanks for teaching me a little bit of Malaysian :)
