Dinner date (Batis capensis)

The male (on the right) has just given the female (left) a juicy, fat caterpillar. He's quite the romantic, watching her enjoy her meal. She, however, is more of a cynic apparently, and has turned her back on him while she gobbles it greedily down.

Not very appreciative is she? I am sure she turned around after consuming, waiting for the next offering. ;)

Wonderful caption and image, Ann.

Typical behaviour for a "non-Lady" KC, it would be the last one I gave her LOL.

Super behaviour capture KC, Tfs
