:lol: Thanks Kurt. This tree must of had about 30 of them in, most of them looked like they were trying to mate. I guess it was just the right time of year for them. :oops: :lol:

Thanks Toby. Yes it was, I have never seen such mass matings before. Even the young ones seemed like they were waiting for their turn. :)
