I have not been getting out and about with my camera much lately – but I hardly need to: its like a safari in the back garden.
Having exhausted the possibilities of snail photography, and slugs and spiders, and snapping the flying ant invasion its now the turn of the unidentified red bugs who were getting jiggy with it on the grass stalk I was going to use to play with the cat.
Interesting philosophical question though… is the one at the bottom the one who is ‘on top’?

Anything I write here is my own opinion and is not endorsed by my employers, the Labour party (nationally or locally), my family, the cat, the dog, the other dog, West Ham United FC or anyone else - and especially not Midphase Hosting. Its just a personal blog, in other words: Promoted and published by me on behalf of me (yes its all me, me, me. Vanity publishing at its worst) although I'm not particularly promoting anything, just describing and generally rambling for my own entertainment, but the whole Internet thing is such a grey area you have to be on the safe side don't you? There is always going to be some idiot who takes it all seriously. No names - you know who you are. Not that anyone reads all this stuff at the bottom anyway, not when there is more exciting stuff to do like watching paint dry...

i think the one on top is the male
These are Common Red Soldier Beetles,also known as Hogweed Bonking Beetles(for obvious reasons).
The proper name is Rhagonycha fulva.
Hope that’s of help to you
Regards color my jamjam(my flickr I.D.)
Thanks for that. I prefer the Hogweed Bonking Beetles name: not only would it be a great name for a band, but it is the second-best name I have ever heard for anything.
(In case you were wondering… my favourite is the Shaggy Stalked Nippled Mushroom)
