Description

Nikon 7900 pocket camera - hand held image. It has almost become a ritual for me to get a pic of this species each June. That is when they always congregate on one species of plant and work to insure the continuation of the species. They are Clay-colored Beetles and they spend a lot of time at work, lol. Thanks to those who take the time to comment. Lee

I just roared with laughter when I saw this! The light in the eye makes the male look like a Walt Disney character, so very funny. Marvellous, Lee!

Love is everywhere ! ;-) You could get a more interesting point of view if it is possible to get lower with your camera (and a tripod should help too).

Is this what they call 'Doing the Shuttle Bug'? Lol. It reminds me of one that I uploaded last year about this time Lee, a couple of Lily beetles perpetuating the species. This does look like a couple from the Ugly Bug Ball though, did they go to make up before the shoot? Superb capture and presentation as well as a good laugh. Bravo!!!!!
