A pair of eastern striped albatross (Appias olferna) I saw mating on the citronella leaves (Cymbopogon citratus). They continue to copulate and ignore me.
Maybe for them, I'm just a passing wind. Sometimes they do beautiful moves, twirling like a pair of ballet dancers.
The female butterfly has white wings with black stripes, she is slightly larger than the male with yellow, white, black stripes.
Every now and then another female comes who tries to annoy them, I think it's a jealous female. But it was a wasted effort, as the tails of the two pairs were still clinging to each other.
These two are truly a romantic couple!
All of these photos I contributed to Hive Stock Images, if you are interested, you can take these images for free. Cheers!
