  • A pair of spotted spreadwing (Lestes congener) damselflies rest on a perch before depositing eggs in the wetlands in the Washington Park Arboretum in Seattle, Washington. To mate, the male, shown above, grabs the female at the back of her neck, above her thorax, using claspers at the tip of his abdomen. She will then bend her abdomen to transfer sperm from him. Afterward, they will continue to remain joined, flying in tandem as she deposits her eggs.
