At first I only saw him, standing on the edge of the leaf waving his front legs in the air, with their bright white extremities. I looked across the chasm between leaves for what he could possibly be waving to and I saw her, not waving back.
After a little waving, mostly by him, they got together and that leg waving stopped but another leg waving started, the pair of legs behind the first.
Anyway, long story short, they did 'it' in bronco style and then parted. She went about grooming herself and he started waving those front legs again.
Yes, small and difficult to get good detail on them. Very amazed at your series
I find them to be pretty alert, and they move and turn around quite a fair bit on the leaf
Thanks guys. Small files Zichar, not small flies. ((: They are alert and as you can see they moved a fair bit but they only had eyes for each other, and they were on a sword leafed plant in the back garden so it wasn't too difficult to track them.
wild looking insect !! I prefer the images where the entire insect is in frame , the mating sequence is extraordinary
