Monarch Butterfly

Description:

I found this couple of Monarch Butterflies joined together at Hellshire Hills in Kingston, Jamaica.
Courtship behavior of Monarchs has been described in detail and consists of a mating ritual, where the male grasps the female in the air and brings her down to the ground, where mating occurs.
