The "Thin Red Line" photograph resembles Tetrathemis irregularis. The 
dragonfly camouflaged on a tree trunk looks like female Tyriobapta torrida. 
The red Orthetrum may be testaceum; the thorax looks a little too red for 
chrysis, although the red on the abdomen of the photographed individual is a 
little deeper than is common for testaceum. In Sarawak, at least, O. 
testaceum is the commonest red Orthetrum. I do not think it is Crocothemis 
servilia, which seems vanishingly rare in Sarawak (although I am not sure of 
its status in Sabah).
