Dragonflies & Damselflies of Curacao Mars Muusse - the Netherlands

Red-tailed Pennant (Brachymesia furcata) is probably common on Curacao, but the numerous Tramea outnumbered the Brachymesia present.
It could be found at Muizenberg, but normally not close to the waters; they seemed to prefer the drier Acacia vegetation. It was also recorded at Malpais, Kabouterbos at Cas Cora and it was relatively common along the sheltered side of Christoffel Hill on higher elevations ((150+ meters). It was also recorded in the drier Acacia vegetation on the east of the island, driving south from Playa Canoa.
