[Odonata-l] Nannothemis oviposition

[Dennis Paulson]

Hello, all.

I have read that Nannothemis bella (Elfin Skimmer) of eastern North  
America oviposits in tandem or not, guarded by the male if the  
latter. As tandem oviposition is relatively uncommon in libellulids,  
I would like to confirm this and to find out if both methods are  
common. Has anyone watched them sufficiently to be able to answer  
this definitively? I have seen the species a fair number of times but  
have yet to see it mate or oviposit. Please indicate where you have  
observed them.

Thanks!
