Sympetrum sinaiticum. Mating

Es el Odonato que aguanta más tiempo en mi zona.

Es frecuente ver a los machos pelearse y tomar posiciones por si baja la hembra a la charca.

El macho que vemos no tiene marcas de apareamientos anteriores, pero sí le falta una pata que habrá perdido en alguna pelea.

It is the Odonato that holds more time in my area.

It is common to see males fighting and taking positions if the female goes down to the pond.

The male we see has no previous mating marks, but he does not have a leg that he will have lost in a fight.
