what a moment to capture!….
I captured such a rare but patient moment where I found two dragonflies captured in their “wheel” formation which is their natural mating position where the male holds the female while she curls her abdomen to connect.
This behaviour is such an essential part of their reproduction and it often happens quickly, which is why it is a rare moment to witness, let alone photograph!
