User's notes
These insects, I believe are Rutherglen Bugs. The two in focus were joined together for the whole time I was watching so I am not sure if they were mating. The insect on the bottom appears to have a thicker abdomen than the insect on the top. The other Rutherglen Bug in the picture crawled all over the flower and over the first two bugs. The top bug reacted by sticking the rear left leg out, almost like it was off-balance or had lost its grip.
