What a weird looking pair. Maybe some kind of worm-ritual? Well spotted and good technically.

Photo is interesting. Anyway, they are not friends from some brotherhood. They actually competing who eats more and the left one is trying to steal "teritory" from the other.

Hi Monika,
they write the first letter of your name - M - for Monika, that's a declaration of love for you ?!? ;-)

Maybe they are two larvae very much in love? They have a beautiful symmetry about them. I have no idea what they are though. The details are great and you've captured a very nice scence, I like this Monika :-)

Hello Monika,
This is a very nice mirror-like composition - a main strength of that shot. The image is unfortunately lacking some focus and the twig in the background is somewhat disturbing but the unusual main object rewards for all :-)
Best greetings,
Michal

Symmentry is always rare to find in nature and therefore when one does find it makes it all the more special. This has an exceptional symetrical shape. Its lovely.

Hi Monika,
An unusual and interesting and eye-catching picture. Excellently composed with the larvae forming 2 complementary question marks "posed" against the leaf.
My only suggestion is to use the clone tool gently in Ph-Shop and get rid of the stark white reflections on the larvae. I would also be tempted to clone out the vertical twig in the background on the left. By contrast, the nicely shaped twig at the bottom is very pleasing.
