Image of Red-veined Darter
Description:
They've finished mating per se; now the male is mate-guarding -- continuing to hang on to her while she oviposits. We saw her dipping her tail repeatedly in the water (caught in the act in the shot below). I think this is probably Sympetrum fonscolombii (Red-veined Darter).
