Tropische Neurothemis fluctuans (Fabricius) in Nederlandse plantenkas

in September 1997 two adults of the Southeast Asiatic N. fluctuans were collected in a greenhouse in Emmen Zoo, The Netherlands. The greenhouse is part of a permanent exhibition of tropical flora, including waterplants which had recently been imported from Thailand. The individuals have undoubtedly been transported with these plants as larvae. A short review of records of exotic dragonflies in The Netherlands, Europe and elsewhere is given.
