Closer inspection of the images shows the Dragonfly had two flies that appear to be Freeloader flies attached to the underside of its rear left wing. This is similar to sighting 4520939. The flies can be seen in these images and are shown in closer detail in following sighting 4554461. The flies remained in place on the underside of the wing whilst the Dragonfly flew around. For details of Freeloader flies see CNM species info at https://canberra.naturemapr.org/species/8511
