Mating Migrant Hawkers

The migrant hawker is a common dragonfly in most parts of Europe, but nowhere numerous present.
It’s a migratory species and can be spotted until late autumn.

In this shot you can see the so-called ‘mating wheel position’ : the male clasps the female on her head with the extremity of his abdomen. The female then loops her abdomen forward and picks up the sperm from the male.

Some good advice : don’t try this yourself at home......... :-)))
