First record of Pantala flavescens (Anisoptera Libellulidae) from the remote Amsterdam Island, southern Indian Ocean
International audience Natural colonization of macroinvertebrates into the Sub-Antarctic area is generally accepted to be a rare event. In February 2017, two live adults of Pantala flavescens (Libellulidae) were recorded on the isolated Amsterdam Island (37°50′ S, 77°30′ E), southern Indian Ocean. T...
