~Goin' Courtin'~
Goin' courtin', goin' courtin'
Oh it sets your senses in a whirl.
Goin' courtin', goin' courtin'
Dudin' up to go and see your gal.
A male Polyommatus icarus on the right trying to chat up his intended on the left. Unfortunately for him she didn't want to know, maybe his wings were not quite the right shade of blue.
Anyway, thought it made an interesting capture, you see these flying after each other all the time, but this is the first time I've photographed them interacting like this. I used the 180mm Tamron Macro lens mounted on my Manfrotto heavy tripod and a cable release for this one.
No prizes for guessing which musical inspired the title :o)
VIEW LARGE :O)
