Tiny African Mask

in #photography8 years ago (edited)

It could also be a firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus), vuurwants in Dutch, but that isn't as much fun as a tiny African mask, now is it?

I found these on a wall in my home town the other day.

Fun fact: their mating can take from 12 hours up to 7 days.

Thanks for watching!

We checked them also some days ago...did I disturbed the animals?

I doubt it, it appears they are otherwise engaged.

Da hatten wir wohl am gleichen Tag das identische Motiv. Deine Serie ist echt klasse. Die sind aber auch eine Augenweide und da kam ich einfach nicht vorbei, ohne ein Bild zu fotografieren.

Super 🐛

That is a very cool looking bug :)

It's a weird and cool one, for sure. This one is in the same category, but wearing pyjamas:

Unbelievable !!
