Monomad - Gold-dust weevil making love

This is my entry for the daily #monomad challenge

Some time ago I had the chance to find this leaf-eating beetle, and today when I was hunting for insects I found the same beetle again, only if previously I found this beetle known as the "gold-dust weevil" alone, this time it was with its partner. As usual, I walked in the bushy area on the riverbank in the Keurembok area, Cot Merebo, which is my favorite location for hunting insects because besides the location having several species of insects, there are also many people fishing in the river in the afternoon.

And that's when I saw a pair of beetles with the scientific name Hypomeces pulviger mating and their position was a little hidden behind the leaves, I then tried to disturb them a little otherwise it would be very difficult for me to photograph them. After all that effort, I was finally very satisfied because I managed to capture several moments of gold-dust weevils mating. :)
