Today's post will not be a bird species. This is first post from my second Muğla trip in Gökova Bay. Yesterday, my friend Olcay from Muğla University showed me these Pentatomid pair in copulation, when we searched in Çamlı Village.
Actually my plan for new post was different. But I like this couple and I decide to upload this shot.
I dont know their species. I can say only it belongs to the family PENTATOMIDAE (HEMIPTERA: PENTATOMOMORPHA). My dear friend Bayram Göçmen wrote that it is suitable Carpocoris fuscispinus (Boheman, 1851) with fallowing characteristics; ground color ranges from yellow to reddish brown and pronotal angles slightly raised and extending as black points well beyond wing margins according to Chinerry (1986).
Many thanks to Dr. Bayram Göçmen (boreocypriensis) for identification and valuable contribution.
They roosted on a thin tree under thick and old Platanus orientalis plantation. In this time, I used a compact camera of SONY Cyber-Shot.

Hi Ahmet,

You photo has very nice strong but natural looking colors. I like very much the contrast between the colors of the insects and the gray of the tree bark.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hi Ahmet.
Superb close-up of cute pair. You managed to reflect all details and features of the insects and their substrate brilliantly. Sharpness, details, colours are excellent despite the use of compact camera. Great work. Bravo.

Ahmet hocam çok güzel makro. Elinize sağlık.

Ahmedim Günaydın, Nefis bir macro olmuş kardeşim. Eline sağlık. Türü sanırım ve büyük olasılıkla Carpocoris fuscispinus. Yani diagnosis ona uyuyor. Ground color ranges from yellow to reddish brown. Pronotal angles slightly raised and extending as black points well beyond wing margins (Chinerry, M. 1986). Eline sağlık. Teşekkür....

Hi Ahmet,
A lovely capture of this beautiful pentatomidae mating shot. We also have similar looking species here. Sorry I don't know the ID. But a superb composition with sharp details. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Fantastic shot of these mating insects. Excellent composition and technically perfect. Great colours too... cypturk

Excellent shot, Ahmet!
Very well done, my friend!
Cheers!

Ahmet hocam çok güzel ve anlamlı bir kare. Elinize sağlık. Selamlar. Bahadır

Hallo Ahmet
This is also unknown to me. What and interesting insects with the most beautiful patterns and markings on their sheilds. The detail and colours strongly reminds me of an African Theme. I would love to walk in a field or even a backyard filled with all these interesting nu-nu's. I think I'll have a ball of a time photographing them. I try to take a daily stroll through the garden hoping I can get any kind of an insect to capture, but the variety is very small. A well presented and colourful image. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your day.
Kind regards
Anna

Hello Ahmet,
Excellent capture of these bugs posing very nicely on a tree trunk. Excellent sharpness, good light and very fine colours and patterns. A nice composition too.
TFS and regards, Ulla

Dr bu nefis makronu görünce yine 400 mm ile mi çektin diye baktım ama bu sefer bir kompakt makine kullanmışsın. Teleden daha keskin ve güzel sonuç vermiş sanki. Eline sağlık. Nefis bir fotoğraf olmuş. Selamlar

Hola Ahmet.
You are taking 100% of Your Camera. Lovely colors and fine pose. Very clear macro and very interesting note too.
Luis52.

Preciosa composición de estos pentatómidos que nunca había visto aquí; nunca deja de sorprender una especie que no conoces. Buena luz y enfoque, a pesar de que esos dibujos y texturas no favorezcan su visión.
Un bello trabajo Ahmet:

Hello Ahmet!
Nice and interesting picture of bugs in copula. This is also a new species for me (bravo to Bayram for ID :>). All what I can add is that the bigger one is a female :)
Best greetings from Lodz!
