Azure damselfly, Gorse weevil, insect copulation, mating Common blue butterflies, mating craneflies, mating weevils, Nephrotoma appendiculata, Tipula vernalis
This is how they do it (*wink*) …
Common blue butterflies (Polyommatus icarus)
Two weevil species: left, Gorse weevils (Exapion ulicis) and, right, a very handsome pair that I haven’t yet identified.
Azure damselflies (Coenagrion puella)
Two species of craneflies: top, Nephrotoma appendiculata, and, below, a new species for me, Tipula vernalis.
