¡¡Una hembra con medio macho!!. A female with a half male !!

            
En esas fechas disfrutaba de la tercera generación de Enallagma cyathigerum. Eran frecuentes los apareamientos y de pronto, un tándem me llamó la atención, ¡¡una hembra con medio macho!!. 
La curvatura del abdomen de la hembra indica al que viene que no está dispuesta, ¿pero sabe lo que está pasando?  porque algún depredador le ha liquidado a su pareja aunque el sistema nervioso de él funcione y siga apretando en el enganche como si nada pasara.
Agradezco opiniones ante una situación tan rara.

On those dates he enjoyed the third generation of Enallagma cyathigerum. The matings were frequent and suddenly, a tandem caught my attention, a female with a half male!
The curvature of the female's abdomen indicates to the next that she is not willing, but does she know what is happening? because some predator has liquidated his partner even though his nervous system works and keeps tightening in the hitch as if nothing happened.
I appreciate opinions in such a strange situation.
