John, is it okay if I put your query on a forum here in the Netherlands? There are some very good dragonfly people there.

I think it's a female Brachythemis leucosticta
While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.
