I'm not sure where these two tiny bugs spent their New Year party, but here I found them still in a hangover state. Can't even stand right, maybe they drank some alcohol a little bit too much so that the effect was still there until three days after the celebration. : )
I am just kidding, I took the photos of these bugs sometimes ago, and yes, they behave like those who are still in a hangover state.
But the fact is that these bug were actually in the last breath of their lives. I was not so sure how could they stay together in the last moment of their lives, and then I could find them as well. What a coincidence.
I tried to make them pose a little bit so that I could get some variation of the shots, but to make them stand upright is a little bit difficult because their tiny stiff legs could not support their larger body and the result was they tipped over a few time. You can see, one was fall over in the background in the photo below.
Then I decided to use one bug as my model here, as I could easily move this one around and at that time it was already dead. and I could work it out so that it could stand on its feet and not tip over.
