    Female insects in the Swiss Alps have evolved a way to avoid unwanted sexual encounters with aggressive males. Specifically, some female dragonflies are able to fake their own death as a strategy to escape from male dragonflies pursuing them for mating. By playing dead, the females trick the males into believing they are no longer alive and able to reproduce, allowing the females to avoid unwanted sexual advances.
