Description
90% of the pictures of these insects (Red soldier beetles - Rhagonycha fulva) on Internet and in textbooks show mating partners ! ;-)
Other common names : Hogweed Bonking Beetles, in French : Téléphore fauve.
I found a fantastic picture of an adult in flight (by R. Rientjes, Germany) : see HERE !
