LOL, you must carry pheromones with you, Andrea; they all seem to want to get to it when you're there. Excellent find and capture!

Granted they were pre-occupied but you must have little cat's feet to be able to sneak up on them like this. Amazing capture.

Quite a balancing act, true of many relationships I suppose! The backdrop looking out to sea is a bonus. The couple are so crisply captured, scary and hairy too! They look about a yard long, that would be scary!

We have MF's over here but they don't look as nice as yours. Ours are ugly and bite like being pricked with a hot needle.

Cool quasi silhouetting of the blighters in this nice macro, Andrea. And the female on top. Actually, I like it that way. It seems the insects in your area spend an inordinate amount of time either mating or participating in some lacivious act of raw passion.

Your macros of 'insectoids' (or insecticides) are just out of this world ;)) I mean by that outstanding - and larger than life ... very impressive, Andrea BB
