More Mating Insects.

[Geoff F]

Found a pair of Large Red Damselflies today. And of course, being in the real world, the background was terrible.



I might have some better shots still to sort out but this one had the best heart shape.

And a pair of Brimstone butterflies. The male was frantically fluttering over the female so I just couldn't get a suitable shot. But then he briefly landed.



And all on his own, a Tipula maxima cranefly. This is our biggest cranefly and is around the size of some smaller dragonflies.

[Bobobird]

Good series Geoff. Have made me want to go and get bugs again after that nasty incident from last year.

Perfect heart shape in #1, excellent capture.

The bugs seem busy in the UK at the moment Geoff, after a week of non stop rain here the only thing I found in the garden today was a fish.

[John 2]

Bg or not Geoff, no1 is excellent and a good series overall.

Thanks for the positive comments. A dull day today so I helped some friends on a wildflower survey, although much of the time was spent sheltering from showers! And it looks a bit unsettled for the next few days as well.
