A pair of mating fly...

Taken with Megaweb around 2 years ago

Common Imperials

This pair of Common Imperials were taken at Alexandra Hospital. A pretty rare sight for me as I have not seen one for more than a year before I met these two. They weren't really mating though, but danced from leaf to leaf in a playful manner.

 

[Denosha]

Shot these 2 at AH. Not sure what kind of bugs they are though...

Ants use a variety of sophisticated forms of communication.

A Pair of bugs

compound eyes
n.

The eye of most insects, which is composed of many light-sensitive elements, each having its own refractive system and each forming a portion of an image.

Shot this ages ago when I was still using a G5 + Reversed FD 50mm f/1.4 for extreme macros.

These two beetles look like shiny mercury drops from far, and that caught my attention. Upon clearer examination, I realised that they were mating in a "butt to butt" position.

[tankm]

All grasshoppers have it......pair of antennae....for detecting touch and scent.

 

[kaichai]

A pair of hardworking bees

 

[tchuanye]

Taken at AH. This pair just jump onto the path in front of me.

 

[Falcon]

This pair of flies was taken at the eco-pond at Alexandra Hospital. To get both flies in focus, a small aperture size of f25 was used. An interesting behaviour of these two flies is after they detected my presence, they flew together to another leaf and got into this "mating" position almost immediately. This behaviour was observed a couple of times.

showing my lil' bit of support for the competition, hopefully it won't end so soon!

A Pair of Branded Imperials
I was walking out of McRitchie, towards the Adam Road exit, when I noticed these two peeking at me from amongst the foliage. The way they mirrored each other to form yet another butterfly shape was quite fascinating to behold - yet another artful creation of Mother Nature :angel:

A pair of puddling Common Blue Bottle along the stream in Macritchie

 

[skyflash]

Mating Logania spp. Shot in Upper Seletar Reservoir.

 

[zenon]

Pair of Mating Psyches, shot at Telok Blangah

 

[macross]

Love Boat

This pair of mating Ypthima sp. was shot last year at USRP. The leaf that they were standing on looked like a boat, and hence the title. Shot with 3T on and in proning position.

 

[sumball]

Private affair in the public

Shot this pair of mating skipper at Ang Mo Kio Town West Garden using 300D+1.4TC+25mm tube. According to the expert, this might be a pair of branded swift.
