Blue-eyed Hawker (Aeshna affinis ) Sydlig Mosaikguldsmed (dk) Esna Zafiro (es) Klarblå Mosaikslända (se) 2023-08-14 Hvidovre Strandenge, Denmark Imago. ♂♀. Mating wheel. Finally managed to get the female. We did not touch the animals, only tried to remove blocking straws, which unfortunately did provoke them to move to a new perch. I like the snaky way the male holds the female in flight... It's funny that this spot appears to be the only one with breeding success in Denmark, and this despite of the species having been reported from several other places. By myself on Amager, inclusive. They all appear to have left again. And why this spot is so much better than others also remains a mystery. Same as this female and this male. |
