Held by the Neck - _TNY_5432
I went for a late August trip to my fav spot in ner Stensjödal in the Tyresta National Park just south of Stockholm, Sweden, together with my son. I didn't have particularily high hopes, but it turned out very nice actually.
The ruddy darters (Sympetrum sanguineum) were seriously getting it on down by the water and I got quite a lot of good shots.
Here is a male who has grabbed a female by her neck and if decides to go further, she will extend her abdomen up underneath to his and they will complete the mating procedure.
