I posted this the other day but accidentally, and unbelievably, deleted it an hour or two later when trying to edit the text. I was comforted to see that Andy A did the same thing with one of his threads recently
Anyway, I thought I may as well post it again. It's a couple of Six-Spot Burnet moths mating on Betony.
Canon 400D with Sigma 150mm.
f9, 1/200, ISO 200.
All C+C appreciated.

Nice shot Matt.
Strange how pics of insects mating( or anything I suppose) never seem too popular.
Cheers

is that what it is? I thought it was something I'd said
Thanks for your comment John.

No sex please Matt, we're British.
Looks good to me Matt. You've got that nice clean bg well. Top one looks a little soft, but it is so hard to get them to do it in one plane.
I see the colours are starting to go on these as they have been around for a while now.
It's an excellent shot.
