Lightning Bugs gettin’ jiggy.
Hi there! :)
I just wanted to send along a photo that I took today. I’m sure it’s one you’ve seen a million times, but it’s the first time I’ve ever seen ANY two bugs mating, let along managing to snap a pic of them! The neat thing, though, is that these two lightning bugs were getting busy on my brand new lilac bush, which I just named Oksana. Now, in Russian, Oksana means “hospitable, especially to strangers.” …I guess so! Thanks!
