Megaloprepus coerulatus (Pseudostigmatidae) - Flug und Fortpflanzungsverhalten

1988-01-01 de 11m
Documentary
For its reproduction, the megaloprepus dragonfly specifically relies on periodic puddles in tree holes and bromeliacea in tropical rain forests. Territorial males tenaciously defend these resources. Females lay their eggs in the water holes of the territorial males and are guarded by them. Any satellite male - i. e., one without a territory - who tries to grab a female is driven away by the territorial male.
