Love is in the Air - Glittering Green Flies Show Off Their Courtship Moves on a Duckweed Dance Floor!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting snapshot captured by Bob Gibbons, we witness nature's own romantic spectacle unfold in the heart of Dorset, England. A pair of adult Glittering Green Flies, known scientifically as Poecilobothrus nobilitatus, take center stage on the surface of a garden pond adorned with delicate duckweed. The male fly, dressed to impress in vibrant shades of green and boasting long legs that would make any lady swoon, engages in an intricate courtship dance to win over his female counterpart. With grace and finesse, he showcases his finest moves - twirls, spins, and aerial acrobatics - all while surrounded by the tranquil waters of their summer retreat. As they glide effortlessly through the air above the glistening pond surface, these European lovebirds demonstrate their breeding behavior like true professionals. The male's display is nothing short of mesmerizing; it's no wonder why females can't resist his charm! This image serves as a delightful reminder that even insects have their own unique ways of expressing affection. So next time you find yourself near a garden pond filled with duckweed-covered waters during July in beautiful Dorset, keep an eye out for these dazzling creatures engaged in their magical courtship rituals!
