How To Make More Butterflies

I am aware of the rules regarding what images are and are not allowed on Blip - which hopefully do not extend to mating butterflies!

These Large Whites had been dancing around one another for several minutes. Apparently the female creates a jet-stream of 'perfume' (pheromones) to direct the male to her; it sounds a little like some parties I've been to!

Eventually the flirting stopped and nature took its course!
