I haven’t visited Morocco yet but, since I found a list of a manageable size by Gilles Jacquemain and the renowned J-P Boudot, I thought I’d document it. We’ve seen quite a few but clearly not in Morocco. 😀
The list seems to have been published before Brachythemis leucosticta had been split into two species so I’ve taken the liberty updating that entry to B. impartita.
