Captured this brief moment on camera as I walked around the garden... Not the best of images, but you get the drift...

Paul,

I have not seen it either. I don't know about all species but I suspect this is to fertilise overwintering eggs, parthenogenesis being the norm in the warmer months.

Excellent capture.
