Excuse me! Could we get a little privacy.

Orange bugs, getting it on. Haven't done an identity search yet but whatever they are they appear quite frequently in my garden.

Beautiful macro, Joanne, including the bokeh. Love the co-ordinating colours!

[Arthur Loosley]

This is a lovely tender moment, nicely intruded upon but they don't seem to be upset by it. Fav.

[Lockarec]

Wonderful macro. The entire composition is very well done.

[Mark Prince]

Wonderfully detailed macro. Great find. As a quick guess Joanne, try Soldier Beetles.

I agree with and love your title- this is a marvelous shot.

@markp Thanks Mark, I checked it out and I'd say you've hit it. It looks like they are Common red soldier beetles. Ragonycha fulva.
