Description
This shot is taken in our garden, the beetles were busy for a very long time, so I think she had a lot of fun together. ;-)

The Latin name is: Stictoleptura rubra.

Thank you very much for your look.
p.s. If you look closely you see the sperm flow.

Mies alweer een buitengewone macro , foto genomen op het juiste moment. Ik denk niet dat deze beestjes zich daaraan gestoord hebben. Nogmaals het bewijs, of het nu dieren, mensen of wat ook, het draait allemaal om hetzelfde !! Prettig weekeinde !!
Wonderful Insecten Porno,LOL Excellent capture,fantastic photo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Splendid close-up!
Oh I love the dutch name of this beetle. It sounds very funny. The german name is "Bockkäfer". Very nice macro shot Jacomina.

Zeer bijzonder dat je dit moment vast hebt kunnen leggen Mies. Het mannetje is tot mijn verbazing kleiner dan het vrouwtje.
With Christian (X-paX), I also love the Dutch name of these beetles. (And "Longhorn" reminds me of cattle, lol...in the States we have Longhorn cattle.) But the picture: Wow---when I view it full size, I can see every hair, every little detail---and you caught them mating, which isn't easy to do. When insects are studied close-up, they're amazing: all those "movable parts". And such long antennae. An amazing macro...and your faded background is perfect: It's like a quiet ocean of green...
Spot on! Nich shot. Aloha
Thank you very much, sharky.
