Ichneumonidae mating

 * Reason:The flies are very small and maintaining a good DOF at this high level of maginification is very difficult. Good quality and lighting of a very rarely seen and photographed incident (according to the one who helped identify the subject). This picture is the first picture on wikipedia which shows the mating of these wasps.
 * Articles this image appears in:Ichneumonidae, Cremastinae

 * Support This image is a macro action and IMO is interesting enough to get FP status. The image made me go to the article and read more about the insects.--Mbz1 (talk) 20:04, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. Where do you find all these insects having sex? Do you just randomly run into them when you have your camera? ~  ωαdεstεr 16 «talkstalk» 21:30, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I chanced to find these insects. As I was leaving home for Friday prayers, I saw some movement around the leaf of a plant in the garden. I rushed in, got my camera and photographed the incident :) --Muhammad (talk) 06:22, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
