ID: Spot swordtails, mating
An interesting sighting during the trail, a particular patch of the trail had several spot swordtails flying around, on close observation we could spot this pair of mating spot swordtails. Though we came across an interesting behaviour where the other Spot swordtails would try to interfere with this mating pair, these would flutter around the mating pair forcing in their abdomen, but would fly off within a short time. Unfortunately we couldnt frame this behaviour and rather could capture just the mating pair.
