Comments:  Hagen's Bluets in "wheel" at Finzel Swamp in Garrett Co., Maryland (7/1/2006). The male, at top-left, clasps the female behind the head while she reaches up to receive the packet that will fertilize her eggs. The male will often hold and dip the female while she lays her eggs in the water (ovipositing), or fly above and guard her while she oviposits.
