The central focus is the Coromandel Marsh Dart pair, engaged in the final stages of reproduction. They are linked in the classic "tandem" position , where the male holds the female securely behind her head or thorax with his claspers. The female is actively performing oviposition—laying her eggs—by repeatedly dipping her abdomen and ovipositor into the water, likely into soft vegetation or mud at the surface. The male remains rigidly attached, often hovering or resting on a supporting structure, providing security while the female deposits their clutch. Adding significant drama to the scene is the unexpected presence of the Common Blue Damselfly. This individual is perched directly upon the male Coromandel Marsh Dart, a behavior known as interference or perch competition.
