Ah yes, springtime when a young man's fancy turns to wa-de-doo-da. Splendid shot and an outstanding pair of finds. I do like these beetles with their metal flake paint jobs.

Wow!! I have never seen a beetle with such a swollen belly! Great metallic color and a wonderful macro, Andrea!

let's hope that she is indeed gravid and just bloated with gas. Great captures

You are going to be banned one of these days putting up porn pic's, nice shot though and great iridescence on the bugs.
