Male butterflies catch the females and are sometimes ready to wait nearby. the male butterfly immediately mating the female butterfly as soon as the female out of her cocoon.

There is a unique trick done by male butterflies in search of their partner. There are several styles. There is a male butterfly that has a passive style, which is waiting for the arrival of female butterflies in a leaf. Then there is an aggressive butterfly male.This type of 'patrol' male butterfly will fly to and fro to get his couple.

I found a pair of mating butterflies, while fly butterfly remains in a mating state, he is not separated from his partner. The mating butterfly is perched on a flower stalk, as I take some pictures of this butterfly feeling annoyed and flying, then I stretched out my hand hoping the butterflies would land on my hands, and after flying to some places eventually the mating butterfly was perched on my fingers.
