showdown at high noon

you wanna piece of me?!!!!
these two faced off, sizing each other up and inching closer and closer until they pounced on each other and rolled about wrestling for a few seconds, then went on their way. hilarious. (maybe not for them.)

love the crop and anticipation of this shot

[Peter Passuello]

I assume one got the jump on the other.

@cncnutz yep lol the one on the left totally dominated, he looks really determined in this shot, and you can kind of see the trepidation in the other one's face can't you?

[Elizabeth P]

[Deb]

Think they might have been matiing. It is so much fun to see the wildlife that I have been trying to get. Such luck to get them together and in this position. I love their faces

@pam1 thanks for your comments, I have a few cricket mating shots, ( I didn't use them, makes me feel like the italian paparazzi) this was definately a stoush.
