Spotted a pair of Miletus biggsii biggsii (Bigg's Brownie) at USR today. The male was trying to mate with the female but somehow the female was not interested and after a while the female decided to stop the "sexual harassment" of the male and flew off. While I was adjusting some tree branches to have a clear-view shot, the male also flew off.
I knew that they may come back to the same perch as this species like to associate with the ants due to their symbiotic relationship. I waited for a few minutes, this time the same male flew back to the same perch as before. With a better view now, I quickly snapped a few shots.
