The photohunt theme this week is hanging. If you watch someone being given a piggy back ride or being lifted in a ballet pas de deux , they will often be hanging on, in order to avoid falling. Below is a piggy back ride or perhaps a pas de deux in the insect world and one insect is hanging on to the other.
Next is the same pair at a different angle where you can't see their faces but it shows one hanging on to the other, a little more clearly.
The last shot shows what happens when the partner isn't hanging on quite tightly enough. That looks like an oopseedaisey to me. 
I hope everyone has a great weekend. I know what I'll be doing this weekend. Cleaning that dirty French door shown in these photos.You can find other photohunters on technorati here -

Hihi...I love it. A pas de deux in the insect world - very creative!
Happy weekend.
How did you keep them in that position for so long? hehe...
Ok... I'm baffled on how you managed to get them that way.. unless they are errrr... and got stuck together :P Anyway, these are some great shots. I love all of them :)

Nice take on the theme.
Didn't you disturb them?
Great shots! I'm surprised they stayed so long for you to take the shots. :)
Interesting take on Hanging great close ups
Enjoy your weekend
Carver - this is too funny! You picked a great one...
Very amazing shot!
WOW...now that is definitely a different take than mine...LOL
are they hanging or doing something else?
Amazing shots. They must have HUNG around for a while! ;-)
Great pics for this week - lucky you having French doors! Crikey - I only have ordinary ones.
Last time I had a room with French doors was in San Gimignano, at Hotel La Cisterna...
Amazing shots, Carver
Uh, mom, I think your "hanging" insects might be mating...
Great macro shots of those acrobatic insects. :) It's so hard to take photos of insects because they normally don't stay still long enough.
Thanks to everyone for visiting. I thought I'd mention that this couple of dancers let me photograph them from both sides of the door. They were very cooperative. That's how I got some of the different angles.
Hi Judith pie, I was trying to keep my literal text family friendly since people have requested that from photohunt since their kids look at the posts with them. I figure most adults would see the sub text but they wouldn't have to go there with their kids if they didn't want to. Everyone isn't as matter of fact with their small children as I was. Speaking of which I ran across the where babies come from book recently and laughed remembering how embarrassed my brother was when little Judith wanted him to read it to her, ha. He said, I think you should get your Mom or Dad to read this one to you. Love you, Mom
Gloriuos - I'm impressed. Fabulous.Excellent.
What more can a Viking say?
Oh my, that's certainly a different interpretation of hanging! Cool take.
You can come and do my windows after yours if you want ;-)
Yikes they need a curtain:)
Those are great...make me laugh!
Carver, this is cool! In different angles and varying degrees of the acrobatics :)
Wow...insect porn?
Great photos Carver, you lucked out with those. I would not worry about the window to much, it will only get dirty again. Have a good weekend.
hehe!! that's a nice hanging pics!
Er... actually, Carver, I think you caught some insects doing a bit of... mating! ;D
Mmmmm - nice images - I like hanging as well - - -
[wanders away LOL]
Hey those are great macro shots! Just like in the NatGeo magazine!!
Wow, i wonder what those insects are thinking if they see this huge lenses pointing at them..hehehe silly me..
Amazing! and nice catch too.
Pearl - have a good weekend!
Haha that's really funny insects. Great shots...
hahahaha that's a very creative way of capturing this week's theme! i'm sure you had a great time shooting these photos.:D
nice, nice...am glad to be back here, im just hanging over my vacation
Are you sure you didn't use super glue :) VERY COOL shots! Perfect for this week's theme.
I guess they're hangin' ok... :)
This is soooo funny! LOL
That is very entertaining! You captured it sooooo good!
Hope you can hop by my Photo Hunt post HERE. Happy weekends!
Interesting shots! Happy hunting :)
Thanks to everyone for visiting. This is a fun theme. I've enjoyed seeing what everyone came up with.
Just like the love bugs in Florida, they fly united......
Great shot
=) Very interesting, Carver!
LOLO at sarge's comment -- sounds like something my husband would have said! I think they're probably mating, too. That's an incredible close-up, though.
Cool catch for today's theme... Mine's up too hope you can drop by... Happy weekend!
ive seen a lot of insects hanging on to each other. i guess its mating season. that is really a good shot Carver, hope i could get a shot that close.. but i cant, my camera doesnt do that quality. =)
Seems you were in the right spot at the right time to be able to capture those. Great Shots like you were a fly on the wall. Thanks for stopping by.
Looks like a bunch of more bugs will soon be on your windowsill...
Here's my Photo Hunt for the day. I'll bet you never heard of this kind of hanging before!
http://newyorktraveler.net/photo-hunters-hanging/
That one's well different! Lovely shots, too.
I see their faces...the one on top has a silly grin while the one on the bottom has a look of disgust. [kidding]
Thanks for the visit. Your photos are terrific and just perfect for 'hanging'.
That is a cool series! You were mighty close!
Wow, i wonder what those insects are thinking if they see this huge lenses pointing at them..hehehe silly me..
Looking for the mirror on the ceiling?
;-) (nice shots of nature in action)
Those are amazing shots! I think they may be doing something other than playing though. LOL
LOL I believe the bugs got to know each other quite well. :-) Nice pictures.
Very different for the theme. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Insex?
Those are some amazingly clear and great shots! I didn't even notice the french doors....
ROTFLMAO!!
Insects hanging around together.
The photos are so good, the comments so funny!
David Attenborough stuff this, in all nature's glory..Carver!
Oopsadaisy!
Gravity always catches up, sooner or later.
Too funny. I have to edit a bit of the dog stuff hanging here too, and our little colt, sometimes I have the most beautiful pics, then upload them and realise, uh oh, there is something else going on I didn't see, or stuff happening in the background.
Pam
Haha nice shots and cute too! :) Happy weekend!
Great series of pictures.
Er, they were only playing leapfrog!
I had to laugh at your comment. I took pictures while camping and everything looked like it needed cleaning!
Thanks to everyone for visiting. I have enjoyed the comments on this post. Some of you have me laughing out loud. Pam I can imagine where you live, the camera would catch all kinds of pas de deux moments, ha.
quite a fun photohunt, I wonder what these two insect's thinking
thanks for your visit
LOL - Clean those doors. I've had a couple of situations like that where the enlarged picture showed a bit more than was expected.
Like the take on the theme.
I've got a somewhat similar situation for a future post and have to figure out exactly how to approach it. You did well.
Wow, those are great shots! Hope that you are having a nice weekend and don't spend time much time cleaning!
Out of the 70+ I've visited so far this one made me smile the biggest! Super short and photo story!
Those are incredible photos! Fantastic story. Your photography gave us a glimpse into "A day in the life of..." (a weary fly!)
Great post. Over from David#'s. Congrats on POTD!
INCREDIBLE shots! I'm so jealous.
Wonderful pictures of nature doing what comes naturally :)
