Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what got spooked here by the bug?
I reckon this is a tough one, so probably someone will get it right immediately

Never noticed antennae Guy, was this a mating pair? Try and go for Dark Green myself. Or High Brown.
Cheers all,

Well spotted Guy! And well done Dave, for guessing High Brown mating pair.
The first photo below was taken immediately before the original one - I think you can just see the bug (could well be an ant) appearing on the right hand side of the bramble leaves. The second was taken after they had flow to a new spot and settled down again.
I always wince when I see mating butterflies in flight - do butterflies feel pain?

Suppose they do feel pain. Must have felt something. Did not think they were dark greens. First I thought bug was a spider, and looked and I think it is a wood ant.
