This Sunday post will be my contribution to #sublimesunday initiated by c0ff33a@c0ff33a, #beautifulsunday initiated by ace108@ace108, and my #sundayrandom, where I share my random macro shots.

Hey guys, happy Sunday, I wish you all enjoy your beautiful, subline and lovely Sunday today. Please a llow me to accompany your day with these macro insect that I have today.

Teh first one is this scarab beetle that I found hangin on the flower stalks of a wild shurb. Well I guess you have understand how could i could it here. yeah, this kind of beetle usually will eat on the flower, or young leaves of a plant. And since I found it on the flower, so it was maybe starting its day by feasting on those flowers. Before I came, take a few photos, twisted the stalk to get better angle, and then caused it to fall doan because I did it too much. ahah

Well it turns out that these are two mating flies. It was a little bit hard to be able to phtoorgaph them, as the moved away from my camera whenever I tried to get photos of them. they will always try to hide behind that small stalk.

This is the last photo of them that i managed to photograph, because they flew away after this. as you can see, the way its legs are position you can see that it is on the take off pose.
