Large red damselflies mating

Lord Vetinari

Spotted a tandem pair of red damselflies fly into my greenhouse, I assumed they'd missed the pond that is just behind the greenhouse but when I went to redirect them, I found them hanging from the greenhouse ceiling on a bit of string with the female just looping up trying to latch onto the male. She eventually succeeded and after taking some shots I managed to get them out of the greenhouse without disturbing them too much and a little later saw them (or another pair) egg laying on the pond.
