Coordinator notes: Correct ID. However, this appears to be a tiny communal "roost" on alfalfa, not a courting pair. I've actually observed this behavior myself, in the ditch behind my house where P. communis are abundant. I found about 4 or 5 individuals roosting in the evening on red clover. Apparently they like any tall, exposed plants, though I'm guessing legumes might be preferred. Nice sighting!
