Common blue damselflies mating on the wing

Common blue damselflies mating on the wing

Pair of common blue damselflies acrobatically mating as they flew across the water of the Compton Park pool.

The male’s abdomen is blue, the female’s green. Both have black bands. The tip of the male’s abdomen is clasped to an area somewhere just behind the female’s head.
