Hi all ... How are you to afternoon !!!
When you look at this picture, of course it is implied in your heart that this is a way for the marriage of dragonflies to multiply their civilization, and this is a glimpse of how they reproduce. Well ... Thus in this post I will mention several explanations for the procedure for marriage.
1. Marriage planning
In general, what often happens in the lives of dragonflies they will always look for life partners like humans on this earth, this happens when they reach full adulthood, sibar-sibar or dragonfly djarum will seek and build an area with partners her partner.
When a man has a mate he will expel anyone, especially other men who are considered to interfere with their activities in marriage. Every man who comes when they find a suitable partner in the perfect area according to him, he will always be aware of the intruder, including other male dragonflies.
2. Method of marriage
When his partner feels safe in all respects, the male will do the usual activities like other animals in mating. That area will start to produce sperm, called spermatophores, on the genitals at the end of the genitals in their stomachs, this you can notice in the picture in the second order.
When the male wants to find a partner then when it happens one thing that is quite unique before the male dragonfly looking for female dragonflies in marriage then,
Male dragonflies must move the sperm from the primary genitals that produce it (located in segment 9, at the end of the abdomen ) to the hamulus, the secondary genitals located in segments 2 and 3, underneath her stomach
This is always prepared early because in this segment there is storage of sperm and penis. Male dragonflies make this transfer before marriage to female dragonflies, so when there is intercourse the pentranperan process will be quickly channeled, this happens because the female is more aggressive than the male.
The female will instinctively know when the male body is full of sperm, then when the sperm is full, the male dragonfly will wait for the female dragonfly to come and enter its territory. He will block it when flying, often even flying right in front of the female dragonfly, when the male will associate the female with his technique so that the marriage happens naturally.
Then after blocking the female dragonfly, then
The male dragonfly will first hold the female dragonfly with its feet, then hook the hook on the end of its abdomen to the back of the female dragonfly's head. Each hook on the male dragonfly only corresponds to the head of the female dragonfly of its own species.
So at that time the male will always maintain the balance of his body so that the end of the genitals is not easily separated from their intercourse and it will end when the male sperm success and fully enter into the female penis.
Sometimes in this case often disturbed by other males, and sometimes there is a fight among men, it is often seen in the mouth of the male there are male body remains as you can see in picture no. 1 above.
Well ... That's a brief explanation of the method of marriage of dragonflies, this explanation in addition to making observations the author also adopted the results of research experts about insects such as dragonflies. Hopefully it will be useful in scientific insight. Thanks.
