•  Support I checked the category to see whether you captured the actual mating. It seems you didn't or not yet uploaded? Jee 02:30, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

• No I didn't get it, Jee. I was on 100mm macro, so very close, and they flew off. Charles (talk) 13:06, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

• Oh. But you captured some wonderful moments! (Sometimes, it takes a lot of time to get coupled. Sometimes the male needs to change the perch and try again.) Jee 13:15, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
