Judges' comments:
Great color; very sharp; excellent background; good exposure; well-framed
Maker's notes:
The green one is the female. You can see her eggs being carried on her underside. The male will hang onto her until she lays the eggs to make sure no other males fertilize them.
I think it's amazing that these creatures can perfectly coordinate all eight of their wings together to hover and fly in any direction while linked like this!
