Helpful Posts: No not a bar room brawl, but some beetles.
Each one was quite determined to win though.
I was struggling to get sharp focus on the entire scene. These little beetles (the bigger female is 8 mm long) are really a reflective green tint but that colour changes in the slightest amount of light. So I had to under expose for the brightest areas.
The female continued to munch on a leaf, completely ignoring all the pushing and shoving between her suitors.
