Argia fumipennis violacea
A mating pair of Violet Dancer damselflies spotted at Paul Spring Park. (You have to admire a man who brings flowers to the courtship process, or vice versa!) Odonata, an order of insects including dragonflies and damselflies, reproduce in three stages: in tandem; in wheel (sometimes called "in heart" for damselflies); and oviposition. The damselflies shown in the preceding photo gallery are "in tandem," in which the male uses claspers at the end of its abdomen to hold the female by its thorax. Violet Dancer damselflies are very abundant at this location.
