Favonius taxila
This photo was sent in the summer of 2009, Vladimir with little explanation - "Battle Stance :) male marshmallow surveys sovereign airspace, ready at any moment to fight.Marshmallows arrange these air battles, especially early in the morning - for the female, sunlit leaf or to drive away trespassers from its territory, involving him in the air duel. Sometimes several males gather in a single battle, and then the shimmering emerald - sapphire ball rolled over the tops of trees.Flyers are excellent, fly fast! And only the midday sun causes them to temper his zeal and hide in the shade of the trees ... After these fights, you can forget about the little tail) "Probably something like this happens) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPqy_Z95-tc&list=PLZRkuDAfH7LBzNRxdIyk4w9q2uRxU9s94&index = 60
