Comet Darner (Anax longipes)Observer
beschwarDescription
An unsuccessful emergence that appeared to have been stopped by a Polistes sp wasp killing and eating it. I watched the wasp eat and chew out chunks of tissue, fly away with them, and then return for more. A series of photos showing some of this, including some in which the wasp is holding the right eye prior to flying away with it.

A male patrolled the tiny area between the steep part of the creek and the road, flying over the shallow water. Fortunately it decided to perch very low just above the water.

Red-and-black Flatwing (Heteragrion erythrogastrum)Observer
erlandreflingnielsenDescription
Females of Heteragrion species are rarely seen, and this is only my second observation of copula in any species. My first was H. rogertaylori in Rio de Janeiro. In both cases the formation of copula took at least a minute. Females lifted abdomen up several times, and lowered again, after failed coupling.
