Two Green Shield Bugs copulating.
Often called the Green Stink Bug, it is bright green and 12 to 14 mm in length. The adults and larvae both are capable of overwintering. Most of them turn brown just before that. After hibernation it takes them about a week or two to turn completely green again.
Green Stink Bugs mate by establishing contact between their rear end. The male doesn't climb on the female, making it very difficult to tell which is the male and which is the female. Actually the two sexes do not show any difference in appearance. The female lays her eggs in small groups on the reverse side of a leaf. The young that hatch do not look like their parents.
It is called a Stink Bug due to the stinking liquid it produces which it leaves behind wherever it goes.
First time I have seen this. Amazing differences between the size and colouration of the male and female bees. She seems to be holding her sting out of the way (and he has to be very careful!) I think males are only produced in the colony at the end of the summer along with some new queens - after this mating she will feed a few times and then find somewhere to hole up for the winter with sperm already on board. I do not know the species at present. Might be the Red-tailed Bumble Bee Bombus lapidarius

At least that’s what I think they are, and what they are doing!
Anyone in the Scottish Wildlife group who knows about butterflies and moths, please add a comment to say what species this is, and whether they are indeed mating in this picture.
The photo was taken on the grass (farmland) just south of Portmore Reservoir, near Eddleston, north of Peebles in the Scottish Borders.
