Ottawa West

"A BUSY PAIR"

These two Milkweed Bugs seems to be having a good time of it on top of a Queen Anne's Lace. I think they are mating and eating at the same time. Whilst they were stuck together like that, I watched the one on the left actually haul in the previously caught fly and start consuming it. The one on the right may already have eaten as evidenced by the fly remnants scattered about.

The Queen Anne's Lace makes a great background. This busy little pair shows off quite nicely on it. Cool find.
