LET'S PARTY !!!!

I found this gang of bugs clustering together on a stalk of greenery. They seemed to be having a party as every so often they would do a 'Mexican wave'. One can be seen doing a handstand at the bottom, he is starting a wave, as he comes back down he will touch the next bug, which will do a handstand. This will continue, spreading through the whole bunch. I have no idea WHY they were doing this, but they seemed to be having fun.

Comments are welcome as always, thanks.

Hi Robin, this is the natural colour. All I did to the image was crop, resize and then sharpen to remove the softness that comes with resizing.

What a hoot, Graham. Nice capture. Were they this color also, or did you tone them?
