Randy, I'm no bug expert but it strikes me that he and his hitchhiker friend are some kind of beetle. Excellent composition and clarity and the lighting makes this a most interesting photo. Now I have the Beatles' song, "Ticket to Ride" in my brain from your capture! - Patty
I haven't a clue as to what these are Randy. The colors are so bright though,apparently they don't worry about predators too much. Such a nice clean shot of them too.
