Fight to the Death

I was using my new 28-70 lens last night. Wanted to see if it would stop bugs. These two were going at it and I couldn't even tell what they were. I think the blue one lost.

Excellent shot love it, when I have seen butterflies dancing around each other I always thought it was some sort of mating ritual, guess they must have been falling out instead !!!!!
