Fair point, I'll get it right eventually. But why do we have to get such a detailed taxonomy before we can upload a sighting: with insects and such I haven't got much of a clue: I just record what I see.........or identify (guess) from google images

Probably- but it would be an emergence rather than a hatch, i.e adults emerging from the nymph/larval stage rather than hatching from eggs.

You should always in clude a photo of the entire insect, The end of the abdomen is frequently critical for IDing odonata.
