Amazing behaviour of dragonflies

Dragonflies are found at the edges of ponds and streams. The males defend their territories by attacking intruders.

Dragonflies are found at the edges of ponds and streams. The males defend their territories by attacking intruders.

Males and females are often seen flying together as they mate - sometimes flying over water so that the female can lay her eggs on the surface. The eggs drift to the bottom of the pond and hatch a few days later. - Lowveld & Kruger Guide, JacanaMaps
