Dear Visitor,I've joint Renderosity in Sept. 2002, while being active for several year I have made a lot of wonderful friends here and I'm still in contact with a few of them. Was elected for AOM in July 2004. Well, since I am Site Administrator on Photo-Genesis my time is just too limited for being active on RR. I just drop in once in a while to say hello to my friends which I miss! If you want to know more about me... the interview I've done for R'osity in July 2004 is to be seen here Feel free to also visit my personal website  Monika Wolf Photography
My Motto is: Make Art, not War! ... and enjoy your days!
Thanks for your stopping by!
Akinom aka Monika

The big guy is a fire bug(Pyrrhocoris apterus) It has been known to attack other insects (see : http://www.geocities.com/pelionature/Pyrrhocoris.htm) sorry to destroy the kiss story... French names are : Gendarme, Suisse ! :~) German name : Die Feuerwanze . I was trying to capture these bugs some weeks ago (when in the Cevennes) but my macro technique was not yet "at R'osity level"... ;-) Very nice photography, Monika! :~)

very cool shot!!! same colors but different :] ahhhh... hope this isn't a stand off!, like to think of them as kissing :]

Thank you Michel for telling so exactly... indeed I had forgotten to mention the name of that bug... you're right we Germans call it "Feuerwanze". I know about those bugs... but hey, I liked that romantic idea more... hehe

Delicious. When I was a child, in spanish, we called 'zapatero' to the one in the top and 'coquita' to the other. They were everywhere; now, there are years I don't see anyone of them!

Dear Monika, I hope it's just a "kiss!" Bugs have some rather strange ways about them - hope one isn't about to be lunch! I'm not sure what the newcomer is - I don't even really recognize the carapice shape. Very unusual! Terrific macro work and a cute image (I hope!) Excellent work!! Love, Meredith

This piece is just a stunner! It is so rich in color and so extremely clear. They are both very beautiful. And I agree I liked the romantic story better, but hey life is life (and death if that was the case). Truly beautiful.
