Dragonflies never cease surprising me. I thought the most astonishing observation was the apparent “death feigning” (tonic immobility) of females to avoid male harassment. I observed this behavior during my PhD studies in the Swiss Alps in the holarctic Moorland Hawker (Sedge Darner) Aeshna juncea (Linnaeus) (Khelifa 2017). Ever since then, I have wondered whether this behavior occurs in other closely dragonfly species.

当性变成蜻蜓的摔跤游戏：女性拒绝男性骚扰者的行为

蜻蜓从未停止让我惊讶。我认为最令人惊讶的观察是女性明显的“装死”（强直不动）以避免男性骚扰。我在瑞士阿尔卑斯山的全北极 Moorland Hawker (Sedge Darner) Aeshna juncea (Linnaeus) (Khelifa 2017) 的博士研究期间观察到了这种行为。从那以后，我一直想知道这种行为是否发生在其他密切相关的蜻蜓物种身上。
