Hello,

Could this couple be Gaurax sp. ?
They were feeding and "playing" on a bird drop and I have made a little video of that.
But apart of their ID I'm not sure whether they are really mating, or could the female be trying to get rid of the male instead ?!
What do you think: "shake it baby" or "get off you jerk !" ?
