Reed Beetles Making More Reed Beetles on a Reed - _TNY_7968

A pair of Donacia vulgaris reed beetles (no common English name for this species) I found while walking out wearing waders into the (very shallow) Nedre Dammen pond at Åva-Stensjödal in Tyresta National Park.

 

They seemed to be enjoying themselves, but it was quite difficult to line them up properly so that I got an eye on both of them in focus.
