Multi-tasking….HMM !

As the low, late afternoon sun illuminated the grasses into neon,

I catch a tiny flash of a different colour.

A new wildflower, I've never seen before?

Could be interesting for a pic. Let's have a look ..

No, it was these guys.

 

I didn't really think I'd get anything decent as everything was swaying in the the breeze, getting focus through the grass stems, and me shaky with zoom ... I gave it a go just for the practice.

 

Later at home, I was surprised I got 2 out of the three in focus before they did fly off into the wild green yonder, still stuck together.

 

More of a surprise to see one of them was holding a 'snack'.

Their version of crackers in bed, perhaps ..?

sooc..

HMM !

 

Update:

Many Thanks to Anuj, who just gave me the correct ID for the loving couple.

They are Robber Flies.

I haven't heard of this name, but now I look more closely, their wings aren't as long as those on Dragonflies.
