 I found these insects in my farm roaming about grasses. Initially, I thought they were just one insects running about instead as I tried to get some good shots. After the first set of shots, I checked what I have taken and surprisingly they were two insects mating. Wow! They look very tiny.  I guess the female beetle wasn't comfortable initially that is why it wanted to detach itself from the male one. But the male insect was very energetic that it couldn't let go. After several trials, the female succumbed to the male's superiority and I took that opportunity to take some good shots. I love the dotted colors on them. The distinctive features of the male and female are not that much. The male has white dots on them while that of the female is yellow.

Hello @maxwellmarcusart Awesome sighting. Their patterns and colors are very pretty. But, I've read that every animal that has a striking pattern and color always has poison as their defense mechanism. That means I'm beautiful and don't touch me!

Hi bud, thanks for your kind words. I haven't read about that and this is my first time of getting to know such. On a normal note, I wouldn't be able to identify the male from the female. And yeah, sure, you are beautiful on your own way.
