Probably one of the weirdest things I have learned about bugs is how dragonflies mate. They do it dragonfly style. Which is probably one of the only ways to describe it. The male taking complete dominance over the female, and grabbing her by the neck. Connecting together in a circle, and bam, they've done it. Then he doesn't let her go until she has dropped the eggs off. The funny part is I have seen this hundreds of times and never thought anything of it. I would just think they were playing or got stuck together. But no. They were mating right in front of my juvenile eyes, maybe if I saw the heart like in the picture below, I would have put two and two together. Just think about that, if us humans did that it would be considered being very rough, or possibly rape.

Without a doubt insects mating is very different from humans in how they do it, you could watch them mate and most likely you won't even know what they are doing unless you have taken this class or are an insect expert.
