Description

I took this in the city farm park also the same time as the recent butterflies.on the left I believe the larger insect is a female and she is embracing the male(smaller and on top) for success in mating, not because of any love or admiration!! THERE ARE FOUR INSECTS HERE,TWO BEING IN EMBRACE thanks so much for viewing and any comments

If you hadn't said anything I would have sworn there were but three insects in this composition. Looks they're doing a square dance. The detail is good and the bugs stand out well against the flower background.

Oh! Dear Richard ;-) You are bugging me out here, huge eeekk's and squeeks from me on opening this one!! I hate 'em :-(( Your shot is superb and I got to look at them again after I hit submit. I am itching like crazy!! Hugs & kisses, hoping for a Tiger Lily tomorrow. Gotta go.. I am coming out in red bloches now... scratch, scratch.. I do mean this :-(( Oh my, Hugs and kisses. Diane.

"she is embracing the male(smaller and on top) for success in mating, not because of any love or admiration!!" (sounds like 'marriage' - WINK). Superb work!!

Just getting one bug to keep still long enough for a good shot is a feat but you have got 4 so very clear. Excellent work, and even bugs get their share of love.
