At first I would like to set one thing straight - no, I'm not into watching butterflies having sex and yes, I felt pretty awkward filming these two getting it on. But at the same time I couldn't look away - I never wondered how butterflies are mating but when confronted with it, why not use is to learn something new.
We spotted this couple at the Botanical Garden in La Oratava - There were several Lantana plants planted which is a feeding and mating ground tor them. Are you planning to attract some Monarch Butterflies? Plant some Lantana!
This video was recorded with this camera.
