EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a remarkable moment in the life of hairy dragonflies (Brachytron pratense). In this image, we witness the intricate mating ritual of these fascinating creatures. The male, driven by his instinctual desire to reproduce, delicately grasps the female's head using his claspers located at the end of his abdomen. With great precision and care, he then proceeds to flip her abdomen into the wheel position – a crucial step for successful copulation. The vibrant yellow hue of these dragonflies beautifully contrasts with their natural surroundings, specifically gorse plants (Ulex sp), adding an enchanting touch to this already mesmerizing scene. As representatives of the insecta class and belonging to Aeshnidae family, these hairy dragonflies exemplify both elegance and resilience. This macro photograph not only captures a visually stunning moment but also provides valuable insights into their breeding behavior and reproductive processes. It serves as a testament to the wonders found within nature's vast realm. Through this extraordinary snapshot taken by Science Photo Library, we are granted an intimate glimpse into one of nature's most intricate duos – showcasing how even in seemingly small organisms like insects, complex biological mechanisms drive life forward.
