Herschel Raney, who responded to my request at BugGuide, said this can happen when a male tries to mate but discovers that the intended partner is another male. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one with the black and white wings is a male Widow Skimmer. The other one is dragonfly sp., and if you told me the photo was upside-down, I wouldn't call you a liar.
