Thanks Paul and Donald!! One thing to add to Donalds comment about finding two together being rare. The big green one was a female, and the smaller brown one was a male, these insects are very cannabilistic, the green female actually ate the little brown guy !! LOL I just wish I could have gotten shots of that, all that was left was legs and wings !!
