She's so beautiful, Bill...Excellent profile capture.
Do you happen to know if there is an obvious physical difference between the male and female of these friendly-looking insects? #11109956

Bill Whala August 17, 2014

Mary, The only obvious difference I can see is their color. The males of this particular species are a vivid shade of blue. The males also have a "grasper" on the end of their tails to grasp the female while mating. Thank you for your kind comment. #11110029
