OK, so this won;t be a PG-13 post :D

First the bee -I caught him cleaning himself after feeding on a flower.

Now those randy weevils. The first is an extreme crop -I shot them at 1.6 times life size. Tiny...

This pair is quite a bit larger.

    Seems like the only creatures not "doing it" are the birds and the bees :D

    Thanks tlee! I normally don't crop images, but they are so small that you'd almost miss them in the original photo. I almost walked right past them...
