When I was preparing to take this photo it looked like the female Dragonfly was looking right at me (as if her head is turned to the side).  It wasn’t until I looked at the photo up close that I could see it was a false eye spot.  It certainly fooled me.

So the reason for the title, at least in my warped sense of humor, is that it looks like this male Dragonfly is using his head to push the female Dragonfly up the stem of the plant.
