In una giornata fortunata, mi sono dedicato alla ripresa del corteggiamento e dell'accoppiamento di questa specie. I maschi sono neri ed occupano un piccolo territorio di circa un metro quadrato che difendono dagli altri maschi. Seduto all'ombra e con un cappello bagnato in testa, ho seguito il rituale di corteggiamento, il più semplice da fotografare perché il maschio vola in modo stazionario, dopo che una femmina si è posata dentro il suo territorio. A questo punto, se la femmina accetta il corteggiamento, il maschio la afferra con la sua estremità addominale, subito dietro la testa. Ora la femmina unisce la sua estremità addominale al maschio e la coppia resta unita per un minuto o due. Dopo la fecondazione, il maschio vola intorno alla femmina mentre lei depone (sempre all'interno del territorio del partner). Anche in hd. #Zygoptera #InsettiInVolo #wild #Movimento #AttimiDiLuce #Primavera #Spring #Volo #Volare #Fly

Dear Alessandro, in fact photographing birds and insects posed allows you to get images with more details and better background and image cleanliness. But both have wings and not photographing them while flying has the limit of not showing the beauty of flight.
Since modern mirrorless cameras with stacked sensors (and lenses with stepper or linear motor) finally allow us to photograph small fast-moving subjects, I prefer less perfect but more dynamic photos. Thank you for your comments. ;-)
Thanks also to you Mauro. :-)
