I think the title is self explanatory....here a common grass yellow and a small bee carry out their jobs on a single flower without disturbing the other.
A bit about the common grass yellow....

Common Grass Yellow
Eurema hecabe simulata Moore PIERIDAE
(=Terias hecabe ( Linnaeus))

Upperside bright yellow. FW with broadly black excavated border in the apex and termen. HW with narrow irregular border. The borders broader in female. Underside both wings yellow. FW with 2 cell black spots and the border not or less excavated in dry season form. Irregular ring spots outside the cell in both wings. Wingspan 40-50mm.

The flower, I think, is the Indian Blanket.

Hi Pushpinder,

No doubt the picture is apt to the title. I liked the compo and back ground too. Overall good image.TFS

Peaceful co-existence is a rarity in nature and when I see it happening, I feel very happy, Dr Pushpinder.
Your picture depicts such a moment very well here -- two B's sharing a flower.
It is a well-composed, crisp, sharp and colourful image.

This morning while I was passing by the park in front of my school, I saw a Hoopoe pecking merrily at the wet ground. It is an infrequent visitor to the park. There were a couple of squirrels there who seemed to be agitated at its presence. One of them made a threatening dash at the bird. The bird jumped into the air and settled down again, looking a bit peeved at the squirrel's rude behaviour. Then three red-vented Bulbuls joined the party on the ground. One of them was a fledgling and the parent were teaching it how to look for insects. Moments later, two sparrows occupied the space between the Hoopoe and Bulbuls. If I had my camera with me, I could have captured the real enactment of peaceful existence just a couple of yards away.
Ironically, such moments pass us photographers by many a time, leaving us full of regrets.
Regards,
Ram

Hello Pushpinder,

This is just brilliant. Two object in same window. Just good. Ganesh

Hi Doc,
Your gallery is getting interesting by the day.Lovely colours here and fine sharpness and details in this composition.

YOu have managed to present not one but two interesting subjects on the beautiful flower.The colours are rich and wonderfully bright.Both the bee and the butterfly are presented in good detail.

There is a slight amount of noise.I have tried a workshop for my own learning.Hope you wont mind.

TFS & Cheers

Hola Pushpinder, una bonita composición. Un saludo
