Ischnura graellsii. Mating

Se sabe que las cópulas de Ischnura pueden durar varias horas. Puede deberse a que los machos de este género se esmeran en limpiar restos de esperma de otros machos, que pudiera tener la hembra, para que sea su esperma el que fecunde los huevos.

It is known that Ischnura copulations can last several hours. It may be due to the fact that males of this genus take great pains to clean sperm from other males, which the female may have, so that it is her sperm that fecundates the eggs.
