Birds do it. Bees do it.

Even damselflies like these do it. I believe this pair are bluetail damselflies, Ischnura heterosticta. Note the minor differences in coloration (eye and tail) between the male (left) and female.

I love dragonflies and damselflies. I used to play with bright iridescent blue and green damselflies when I was a kid at a lake we'd visit for day. Beautiful banner!

These damselflies were attached to a thorny stem of a rose bush, as shown below in the source photo.

Excellent photography & banner, Elizabeth! Thumbs up

Now that you show the original alignment, it makes sense,
i.e. vertical instead of horizontal, which would be a feat worthy of
Cirque du Soleil. Sticking tongue out
