Could anyone assist with an ID for these two please?

The Euphaea species was photographed in 4000 Islands along the Mekong in southern Laos in February 2016.

The Skimmer/Dasher was near the Watcharitan waterfall, Doi Inthanon NP, Thailand in late February 2017.

Cheers

I guess E. decorata comes closest. Not completely mature.
I'd be interested in the other one, as I think I have pictures of it too...

Cheers. I've asked elsewhere about the demoiselle type. I'll post up any further info I get but immature decorata does look likely.

Will have to do some more research on the other one but Orthetrum glaucum seems probable.
