Enallagma mating

Fotografiar cópulas de Enallagma cyathigerum en el Coto en la primavera es relativamente fácil, más con hembras androcromas (son más numerosas) que heterocromas.

Lo diferente e interesante de esta foto es observar, ampliar, el esperma que cuelga del órgano reproductor del macho.

Este detalle lo pude apreciar en el ordenador al descargarla, de haber sido consciente de la situación, los hubiera seguido a ver qué pasaba si es que pasaba algo.

Photographing copulas of Enallagma cyathigerum in the Coto in the spring is relatively easy, more with androchrome females (they are more numerous) than heterochromes.

What is different and interesting about this photo is to observe, to enlarge, the sperm that hangs from the male's reproductive organ.

I could see this detail on the computer when I downloaded it, if I had been aware of the situation, I would have followed them to see what happened if something happened.
