This is a fantastic flight shot of a pair of Pantala flavescens (Wandering Glider), in which you can see how both individuals can fly with their wings functioning most effectively while linked together in copula. The aerodynamics of this would be fascinating to study, as it looks as if the female wings are oriented a bit above the horizontal, the male's a bit below, which should have them flying straight ahead.
