 Shot in my backyard on an asparagus plant. There were a whole bunch of these little things on them. Also almost every one of them was paired off with another one! I chased them around with my finger to get them in certain possitions, they didn't cooperate very well though. I really wanted them apart and facing each other, but they wouldn't agree to that ;-)

That is hilarious. These never keep me from cracking up. At wolf camera(work) we have a nice one of some lions from a guy's saffari that never ceases to put a smile on my face. Nice focus composition and clarity as well. 8

Now in a true macro, I'd be able to see if they're practicing safe sex or not.... (joking) great comp and clarity and one of my hightest scorers.

Nice composition, good use of negative space. Nice uncluttered background.

Both a good shot & a cute one! Nice colors, although IMHO I think if the background was darker, it would really make the green of the stem pop. Still a really nice image!

When the bugs are havin' sex, you know for sure, it's summer time.
