‎‧₊˚✧Info Dump✧˚₊‧

Did you know that when damselflies/dragonflies Mate they make a heart with their tails? Isn’t that so cool!! :0

In Some Species, The Pair will Remain in this Wheel position For Only a minute. Others, However, May stay in this position For several Hours!

After Mating, The male may Immediately release the female and Fly Away, Or he May Follow Her Around to Guard her From Other males While she Lays her Eggs in the Water!

Tiplea says photographing damselflies is often easier in the morning, when the light is soft and the air is usually still. In rain or bright sun, he shields the fragile insects with an umbrella.
