Peeping Tom - _TNY_7912

Firebugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus) take their time when mating and can be coupled to their partner for hours, typically walking around like that (one of them obviously backwards). I shot a pair here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/46943612295/ and right after, a black garden ant (Lasius niger) showed up, watching the two getting it on.
