Must be something in the air, this is the third photo of ladybirds playing nookie I have seen this week.

Uhh, I'm not sure that one on the top is really a lady. Great capture Peter.

@gilbertwood Thank you so much Denise, quite an easy shot to get they where at it for ages:)

@onewing You could well be right Babs, there were some others I saw later in the evening in a similar position:)

@stray_shooter Ha Ha now that would be something different altogether Ron, during mating, the male grips the hard wings of the female, remaining on top of her for up to two hours, through a macro lens his attributes become visible. it was indeed male and judging from his speed and duration he must have been an athlete, lol:)

[Peter]
