In Love? I know these are Dragon Flies but are they in a mating ritual? They appear hooked together and they were flying through the air like that! Very different. In Love? Click/tap to enlarge

    Are you sure these are dragonflies? I'm no expert on the matter yet both their bodies and wings look different from a typical dragonfly. Posted 11 years ago

      Yeah, I was wondering about that! I thought they were because of the location at a nearby Pond. Photo was taken in Cornish, NH. (USA) Posted 11 years ago

        I'm thinking these may be mating robberflies:
