Maybe someone who's actually been to that hemisphere will correct me,  
but the two photos of the brilliant red critters (entitled "Red  
Hilite" and "Red Dragon") both look to my eyes like some species of  
Crocothemis. The latter shows amber basal hindwing patches further  
reinforcing that suspicion.

Cheers,
