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......... :-)))

Dutch name : Paardenbijter
German name : Herbst-Mosaikjungfer
Latin name : Aeshna mixta

Thank you for your advice! This will help to avoid accidents in future! ;-)
Your pic is fantastic!
To snag such a special scene is really not self-evident!

Nein, keine Sorge. Ich werde das nicht probieren. Viel zu unbequem ;-) Sehr schön eng geschnitten, feine Schärfe.
Viele Grüße, Jürgen

Mark....you make me laugh!!! Too funny!
Of course, like always, a perfect picture, wonder what Aperture you had....went yesterday to "my" pond, watches butterflies and dragonflies. A beautiful and interesting experience.
Enjoy your evening!
