Basic Instincts

Day 47 of my 365 Photo Challenge.

Today I went on a tour along the river Amber in the area of the city of Fürstenfeldbruck. On this tour, I encountered a variety of wild birds as well as plants and insects. My favourite picture of today shows a pair of ladybirds, closely entwined during mating.

I must admit that this is the first time for me to observe a pair of ladybirds mating. It wasn’t easy to get a sharp picture of the two of them, because the male ladybird was making a significant effort!

In the end, I was lucky again!
