My first insect porn shoot
Last weekend for the first time we actually had a brief period of good weather, lasting from Saturday morning to early Sunday afternoon. In Seattle parlance, this was our “spring”. Most likely some day in late July or August will be our “summer”. Given the nice weather, Eitan and Nathan wanted to go outside to collect more ants for their ant farm so of course I obliged. However, after being outside for a few minutes Eitan pointed to something that made me stop.
Yes, this would be my first opportunity to photograph insect porn. In particular these were March flies, which in previous posts I have already photographed. That day the weather must have been perfect for this opportunity, as it did not take long to find more couples in the act. Naturally I was very excited and rushed to grab my camera – taking several shots only to figure out that I had left my flash card downstairs. After deciding the shots would come out better with a flash card, I proceeded to take a number of shots of the couple in action.
Therefore if you feel that you will be offended by March flies in various gratuitous positions please do not turn the page.
