Mint Leaf Beetle - Chrysolina herbacea, Knotgrass Leaf Beetle - Chrysolina polita

The photos are not very high quality, but the situation is unusual: two species of beetles living on peppermint. The beetles not only met, but also tried to mate, and this process took quite a long time, the first photo was taken at 7:19 in the morning, the second at 10:46 on the same plant, practically in the same place.
