Tramea
Tramea lacerata
The genus Tramea is one of the nine Dragonfly genera of the subfamily Panta Linae. The genus was established in 1861 by Hagen.
Features
The genus is the genus Tramea Pantala very close. Tramea differs from Pantala except in the slimmer shape and the general habitus by a shorter eye seam, the formation of the male genitalia, an undivided lamina anterior, a knife-shaped hamulus, the great split Eiklappe of the females and a simple seam across the third and fourth thoracic ring.
Behavior
The representatives of the genus Tramea have a steady high flight and rarely come under two meters in altitude. If they fly over water, the males are very aggressive towards other dragonflies, regardless of their Art This is mainly because that the animals are principally for mating at waterholes. The mating can last for a very long time. For oviposition, the female then flies but still alone. On landing they aspire to a horizontal orientation and places to of which to have a good view. They also often join with representatives of migrant dragonfly.
