Mating butterflies Lycaena phlaeas, mating.<br />
The female and the male were spotted by chance at medium range, without being disturbed (I guess).  <br />
Three steps across the approach was carried out for a close range capture, for an attempt, before the beating wing.<br />
And it will became a photograph of a successful moment recorded in the nearby surroundings of reality. <br />
Unconfirmed meloidae beetles are attached to the legs (and espirotromba) of both butterflies.<br />
&quot;When caos makes sense&quot;, probably a good title.<br />
Spring is on.<br />

  1. Incredible detail on the beetles, I'm guessing nobody would have found those! Posted 8 years ago
