The dragonfly male imposes his rights on a territory close to the water and defends him ferociously of all his rivals. When the female arrives, the male modifies his style of flight. Thus, he makes an exhibition to court his partner, before holding the head with special tweezers located at the end of his abdomen. When it is attached to the male, the female arches her abdomen forward to gather her sexual organs and fertilization occurs. The female lays the eggs near or in the water.
Dragonflies use optical illusion to stalk other insects that invade their territory. They can move in such a way that they project themselves as a static object while quickly attacking their victims. This type of mimicry illustrates how they use complex camouflage techniques during air raid.
Wonderful picture of an amazing insect 🙂
