Please note that we cannot guarantee against grade reduction due to shipping. We will ship the specimen shown in the image. It was collected on August 2, 2024. My measurement of the body length (head to abdomen) was 73mm. Considering the difficulty in preserving color in dragonflies, this specimen has excellent coloration and appears lifelike.
