Please help me identify where this rate dragonfly migrated from. I saw this colorful dragonfly in my compound, when I became curious about the specie it belongs to, I brought out my phone and decided to have a close shot of it for easy identification.

An information from my little research has it that this particular specie is called Sympetrum danae, the black darter or black meadowhawk and is a dragonfly found in Northern Europe, Asia, and North America

As anyone found this in his environment in Nigeria ? Is it a common dragonfly In Nigeria or Africa? Could it be they migrated from another continent?

This creature that can never be caught.
One of my wishes as a child was to catch it.

It's not rare, they are everywhere, this normal full blown dragon fly, maybe you are used to seeing the adolescent one. They didn't migrate from anywhere, they live in your area, lay eggs and produce offsprings too. A Chinese friend told me that they are delicious... haven't tried it though. Let me know how it tastes.

I caught some when I was younger. Wonderful insects, very agile in flight.

Haa... Slowly walk to it, cup your hand and bullet it towards the insect, you got 2% chance of hitting the jackpot. Fun days.

Did you bother to google those specie names I posted? You said they are adolescent and not full blown? So the ones that are found in Europe that look just like the one I posted here are also adolescent? So when will those ones be full blown adults according to you? Is this your conclusion of statement based on researched facts or mere assumptions?

Nigerians don’t want to research to solve their own problems we always rely on the oyinbos to do it for us. We don’t know what comes into our territory through the land, air and water.

I caught it with a swoop net during a practical course called experimental zoology back then I'm school

Could they had migrated to Nigeria?

They've never migrated from anywhere they reproduce like mosquitoes laying their eggs into dirty water to reproduce their offsprings.
