Word For The Day: Oviposition

Since my last post I spent time watching damselflies go through the “oviposition” process. During oviposition, female damselflies are depositing eggs on submerged aquatic material or in other suitable areas.

In today’s photos, the males remained attached to the females as they deposited eggs. Males stick around to protect females from other male damselflies. It is quite an interesting process.

While I was out I did see other interesting things featured here. A couple of the wildlife species I was able to hold in my hand.
