Australian Emperor Dragonfly (Hemianax papuensis)
49 / 59

Australian Emperor Dragonfly (Hemianax papuensis)

The male grips the female behind the head as she lays her eggs under a Nardoo frond. The grip is thought to protect the female while vunerable but also to protect the male from being eaten by the female which she would do if she had half a chance.
