Description
I hope I don't offend those tender trans-Atlantic sensibilities with all my images of insect reproduction, but there is a lot of it going on at present!
The purpose of life is to become an ancestor, and the natural world devotes much time and effort to achieving this aim.

I agree Andrea and I think I've done my bit !! Nice shot btw.
I love to know that next year there will ben insects again !
I am amazed you get the pics, great one.
Well, I never.....! Guess we out here by the Pacific don't worry as much as our brethren by the Atlantic:-)))
Flies will be flies! Nice capture of his, er, equipment!
I see he has his legs over her eyes. Is that to hide any shame :D Excellent work Andrea.
EXCELLENT CAPTURE!
I wish money could be like that and multiply... Nice shot. Aloha
Ridem cowboy!
Its not about being offended. Its about how you discover them in the act. Do you get email alerts? "!! a.m., Bob and Carol will be doing it on the nasturtium next to the green house." And then there is the question of how someone who keeps telling us she has such bad eyesight gets such stunning clarity in her close ups. BTW - Stunning clarity in a superb close up.
You have this knack to catch just about any insect "in the act" by now you should have enough of these photos to publish an interesting book - If you were to do that, I know that I would buy a copy or two
Have they no shame? lol. Very cool catch. Even though very common, these are one of my fave flies. Something about their dark bodies and those red eyes I like.Not to mention that cool pattern they have going on. Nice job!
Birds do it, bees do it - I've heard of internet porn, but insect porn? Nice capture, colorful & action-packed...
I think that Mark already said it all - a fantastic, high quality capture of nature doing what nature does best!
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
I like your quote "The purpose of life is to become an ancestor" and this is the way of nature. Nicely found.
HE! Having read all the comments, I cant come up with something smart to say, that isnt said already. Great Macro it is. :))
Nice shot !!! ;-)
Excellent shot Andrea, observational skills alone is 10/10 and another 10/10 for getting the shot... nice work.
Really good capture at the good moment. Bravo !!!!
J'taime... ;o)
