Description


Hello all! This one has a real funny story with it. My 11 year old Alice in wonderland look alike Janel saw these two butterflys and held out her hand the twosome fluttered and hopped on and Janel was delighted and I shot this macro here. She was beeming "Arn't they pretty Mommy?" she asked.. and I responded with a laugh and Big smile , "yes They are beautiful and are infact right now making more future catipillers that will then turn into butterflys !!.. see, they are fluttering about doing a mating dance in your HAND!!" LOL! at that she looked horrified and screamed and quickly dropped the two lovers back into the bushes.. and i got an earful , "EWWWW HOW COULD you MOMmm LET THEM DO Such a thing IN MY HAND!! THATS just soo GROSS!!" ... she is still a bit freaked out by it more then even the time the baby hamster was born in her hand .. haha it makes me laugh to think of it when I see this shot so thought I would share it with you today ! :O) * looks best at full sized view thank you!... Thank you for all your time and comments ! Love to you all! ((( Big hugs ))) ♥ Kimmers ! :O)

quite agree with you - anything goes between consenting adults in provate - do it in the streets and you are likely to frighten the horses (and children :-))

of all the butty chasing I have done, I do not remember ever seeing them mate. she not only experienced a wonderful part of life but first hand!!! tell her, she should be honored instead of horrified. outstanding work by any scale

Marvelous photo and even better story. I have been noticing my "gold bugs" doing the same thing lately but have not managed to get a clean focus. They don't seem to be as agreeable as your butterflys, lol.
