Robberflies mating / cópula de moscas predadoras
Taken with the new Laowa 50mm, uploaded a review of it at youtu.be/cdO35gdZINA
If you want to support my photography I got rainforest wildlife prints available at www.primalshutter.com/Prints-frames/Rainforest-Selection/
Although I see invertebrate activity all year due to my temperate location - there has been a riot of mating frenzies this past couple of days. Perhaps triggered by the higher than average humidity, heat and thunderstorms.

This fly couple were a tiny species, just 4 mm in length

Rhagonycha fulva, the common red soldier beetle, also misleadingly known as the bloodsucker beetle, and popularly known in England as the hogweed bonking beetle.
A mating pair of small hoverflies (Diptera:Syrphidae)...
Took several shots until I got this one as they kept on flying around..
One random evening I was walking up to my room when I saw these two going at it on a scarf left at the top bannister of a somewhat narrow stairway. My natural inclination was to jump back in fear and shock and the sudden disruption led one of them, the female I (sexistly) presume, to jump away. It was only then that I realised what was happening as the other one, the male (sexist prejudice again), jumped along with it & was unwilling to let go of their connection. Much to my childish debauched humour, this happened a few more times with the female trying to escape while the male latched on. Since I use a manual (and SLOW) hacked 3580macro lens, and these are the teeny tiny moths you get in London/houses, I thought I had lost the wonderful opportunity to capture them in action. An hour later, much to my surprise, they were still at it & so I decided to try my luck again & quickly capture this before the female had finally had enough :D

A mating pair of Differential Grasshoppers on the cattails around the pond at Bob Jones Park in Southlake, TX on August 7, 2010. It was around 6 p.m. when I took this photo and it was still 100 degrees. More Convenient Link to Large Size
Here is the first stage of the life of the damselflies. Here the male and female cooperate on the wing to lay eggs.
The one on the top is male Coromandel Marsh Dart (Ceriagrion coromandelianum), which has yellow abdominal segments. The one in the bottom is female Coramandel Marsh Dart has pale green color in her abdomen.
The male on top has its oviposter fixed to the female's cephalo-thoracic joint. The female lands on a best located leaf of an aquatic plant, bends her abdomen and plants her eggs under the leaf and ensures that eggs are submerged.
This mating pair of mango leaf hoppers was found on the underside of a leaf of jack fruit tree which was situated close to a mango tree.
I have no clue which one is male and which one female... but this couple was hovering around everywhere.. was hard to capture them still!!
