Description
Dragonflies are one of my favourite insects. I serve and stop to avoid them while driving. They have a friend at Singleton Lake. This pair of mating dragonflies were left undisturbed in their loving embrace. The male is to the left with the female to the right scooping sperm into her ovary. At least that is kind of how it happens. You can read a lot of sexual symbolism into the painting - you could but I won't.... Richard Aaron, naturalist identified these as a male and female Halloween Pennant (Celithemis eponina) in the wheel (mating) position.
