"Male dragonflies are known to engage in mid-air “dogfights” to defend their breeding territory, using different maneuvers than those they employ when hunting prey. A new paper published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface concluded that relatively simple rules drive that behavior, namely that male dragonflies are trying to maintain a tactical position. This mirrors the tactics of human fighter pilots." https://arstechnica.com/science/2026/07/dragonflies-maneuver-like-fighter-pilots/ #Dragonflies #Behaviour #Biology

It's always exciting to see a new species in my garden, and today it was this small dragonfly. I'm pretty sure this is a female Darter, but I can't decide whether she's a Common, Red-veined or Yellow-winged Darter. Regardless, she's welcome here and also very photogenic. If you can identify the species, please let me know :-) #Dragonfly #Dragonflies #Insects #CloseUp #Nature #NaturePhotography #Garden #Flower

RE: https://dice.camp/@Da_Gut/116842635266307459 This podcast episode is crackling good. That unisexual salamander complex is absolutely crazy. It uses the sperm of five different species of salamander to trigger its egg production. It’s a polyploidy complex - well, the majority are a tetraploidy. The unisex lineage has been around for over 2 million years. The bit on dragonfly migration is equally fascinating #Nature #Salamanders #Dragonflies #Podcast

A stream cruiser (Didymops transversa) with breakfast. I was thrilled to finally encounter a dragonfly who, for a short moment, actually perched near to me! #dragonflies #insectphotography
