There's a whole lot of mating going on! It appears another male is coming in! Making three? |
 |
Butterflies mate facing in opposite directions with their
abdomens attached.
|
 |
With mating, males mate numerous times during their
short lives.
|
 |
Most females mate only once. |
 |
Watching butterflies mating singles the beginning of the end
for adult butterflies.

ReplyDeleteTerrific pictures, I rarely see whites settling long enough to photograph. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to see you back, Louise, with your interesting observations and exquisite pictures. I've been away from blogging too.
ReplyDeleteWondering why this post didn't show on my side bar.
Best wishes
Thinking of you, Louise! Wishing you and your family a wonderful, happy and healthy New Year :)
ReplyDeleteWe love butterflies too! They are so pretty and delicate. We have a garden where there's nothing but monarchs and hummingbirds. They fight over the asclepias plants, milkweed. I ran across your blog and have enjoyed it on my lunch break.
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to say hello to you. My posting had become sparse also and I gave up the original blog to start a new one more specific to homesteading. I hope you are well!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless.
