Four bugs of unknown species, everyone getting it on. Knelt down to take a picture of this flower before noticing, in sequence, that there was a bug on it, that there were two bugs, that one of the the bugs was two bugs mating (i.e. 3 bugs total) and finally that both bugs were pairs of mating bugs (i.e. menage-a-quatre). <br /> <br /> Not familiar with the species but they are small and have orange but things touching each other.

    They are green weevils/ leaf weevils, not sure exactly which but with a location it may be possible to narrow it down - lol.. I'll check out that location :) - update probably green immigrant leaf weevil

    Hey man! Thanks for the tip. I was looking at another site and was coming to the Weevil conclusion. I'm not sure about the green immigrant ones, they were more like speckled grey-green and not as shiny as the ones here: http://bugguide.net/node/view/35040/bgimage Posted 11 years ago

    Too bad there's no way to zoom in on the photo, it has a lot more detail in there but I wanted this composition for art's sake :) Posted 11 years ago

      I have to correct you on this one, JungleDragon has one of the best zoom features around :)

      Just click on the photo from this page to open it fullscreen. Next, you can use your scroll wheel to zoom up to 10 levels deep. And it gets better: if you uploaded your photo in a high resolution, you can watch it in "HD" mode. In fullscreen mode, locate the "target" icon in the top and click it, and then wait for it to load the original. Now you can zoom and pan exactly as you would using an original on your desktop.

      Here's an interesting list to play with this feature:


      That list includes photos up to 400 MP :)       Posted 11 years ago, modified 11 years ago

        Woops you're right, thanks fchristant. I tried doing that but couldn't figure out what would zoom in/out. A couple buttons for that that duplicate the mouse shortcut would have made it a lot easier to find.

        The "load full size" I did find which is a great feature, but kind of confusing if you can't find the zoom tool ;)         Posted 11 years ago
