Wow, Doris!! This is agreat capture, tack sharp and spot on the money! I agree with Susan...your insect images and knowledge of them are beyond reproach. And you must be a voyeur--you catch a lot of insects mating!!!! (I'm just jealous) f

Thanks Lori :-) I should note that my knowledge comes from the Internet and the Kaufman Field Guide to Insects of North America! I must say that you learn a lot when you start trying to identify these little critters. I've been learning more than I should know, maybe, about their private lives. Lol.
