Largus succinctus
Mating, while walking up tree trunk. While I was trying to photograph them, another plant bug tried to get in on the action. The interloper was a little smaller than the smaller of the two pictured, and it climbed onto that one's back. The one already there kicked it off, and it went away, while this amorous pair continued climbing the tree.

These kind of bugs do all kinds of other things while coupled which is fortunate because it seems to take a lot of time for them. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/791...
The smaller ones are the males, as you may have guessed.
