10 INCH PNEUMATIC WHEELS

Six Flags Over Georgia (Images of America)

When Six Flags Over Georgia opened in June 1967, it became the first theme park in the Southeast. Although the park is best known today for its high-speed roller coasters, this book recaptures its earlier years when it was devoted to the various periods of Georgia's history. Six Flags Over Georgia revisits such classic rides and attractions as the Log Jamboree, Tales of the Okefenokee, Jean Ribaut's

Adventure, the Krofft Puppet Theater, the Happy Motoring Freeway, and many others. It also explores how the park's focus changed and expanded over the decades and takes a look at some of its classic advertising and souvenirs.

Mating Behavior
Once mature, a male dragonfly or damselfly establishes a territory from which he chases other males. When on territory, he produces packets of sperm called spermatophores at the tip of his abdomen (tenth segment), reaches the tip forward and places the spermatophores in a depression on the lower surface of the second abdominal segment.
With his sperm receptacle filled, the male flies out and grasps a female's head with his clasping genitalia at the abdominal tip. Each species' male genitalia fit the head of only the female of that species. (Slaty Skimmer Clamped in Tandem.) In some dragonflies and damselflies, the shape of the male genitalia is the most constant and accurate identifier of the insect's species.
Once the male has grasped a female, they fly in tandem for some time (Swamp Spreadwing in Tandem). The male usually flies while the female rests. Rarely, the female will fly while the male rests. It is unusual for both odonates to be flying at the same time.After some time, the female reaches the tip of her abdomen below her body and grasps the male's second segment to pick up the spermatophores he placed there. During this process, called the wheel formation, the two dragonflies take on a circular or heart-shaped pose. The two may stay in the wheel formation for upwards of fifteen minutes before the female releases and returns to the tandem position. (Eastern Forktails in Wheel Formation image.)
Egg Laying
Once the wheel is broken, the female may leave the male, separate from him as he remains close to her, or they may stay together in tandem as she goes about laying eggs (oviposition). Oviposition may take many forms:
•Skimmer females usually leave their mates soon after breakup and fly over shallow water, dropping to the water's surface to lay her eggs and rising again.
•Darner males do not release their females and carry them to likely places for oviposition. The female dips her abdomen to the water's surface and they rise a couple of inches before flying to a new location.
•Some damselfly males do not release their mates – even when the female climbs down a plant stem to lay her eggs in that stem, but several centimeters below the water's surface. The male may be dragged down until he is almost submerged, but he is needed to help her break through the water surface once egg laying is over.
•Emerald dragonfly females have thorn-like ovipositors with which they stab the mud surrounding the bogs in which they lay their eggs. (Red and yellow arrows in the photo of the Clamp-tipped Emerald.) The eggs are deposited below the surface of the mud to hatch when rains raise the level of the bog and submerge the mud.
•Some damselflies and dragonflies, including the two primitive Anisotrophomorpha species, lay their eggs in the stems and leaves of sedges, rushes, and aquatic plants. Many that use aquatic plants have saw-like ovipositors that slice through the outer tissues of these structures and allow the eggs to be inserted below the stem surface. (Red arrow in the Eastern Forktail Female picture.) There have been several studies on ovipositioning scars on fossil leaves and stems from the Carboniferous Period, and many of these scars have been attributed to dragonflies and damselflies.
Dragonflies are unique in the insect world in their morphology and behaviors.
