Pseudagrion rubriceps - Oviposition

I witnessed the underwater oviposition of Pseudagrion rubriceps (see below).  Before the underwater session, the female (attached to the male) was seen laying eggs above water. She retreated slowly into the water along the water plant stem while ovipositing all the way down under the water. The male was attached to the female during the whole process of underwater oviposition. The duration of the underwater session was 32 minutes.
