Acrobatic in flight : Planning the copula.
Anax parthenope en el proceso de carga de esperma en vuelo. Los Odonatos tienen la genitalia dividida, a la altura del segundo segmento del abdomen tienen la genitalia secundaria o pene y entre el octavo y noveno segmento tienen la genitalia primaria, los testiculos. Antes de copular traspasan el semen de la genitalia primaria a la secundaria. A veces esto ocurre en pleno vuelo, como es el caso.
