Sexy Time - _TNY_5952

On an early September trip to Åva-Stensjödal in Tyresta National Park, Sweden,, the weather was just a little too cold for the bugs to be out and about in any numbers.

 

I did find these two kite-tailed robberflies (Tolmerus atricapillus) which were getting it on on this leaf. After a couple of photos I scared them and they took off - still coupled. Flying like that was aparently a bit difficult though so they made a u-turn and landed on my finger instead - which looked like this: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53198987496/
