Intimacy along the blades

ID: Coromandel marsh dart

Spotted few these beauties fluttering around the water reservoir of the garden, while framing few other butterflies, that had started popping out of the damp morning, spotted this couple resting on the blade of the grass, while mating.

Nice behaviour captured. Good you could spot them. It looks like a mirror image of the one on the top . Nice capture. Thanks for sharing.

This looks nice. What time did you click? Early morning? Did they not get alarmed by your approach. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

This was clicked at around 10a.m., it was a cloudy day, so most of the sightings were a bit lethargic
They initially were hardly bothered by our approach, but eventually they decided to fly deeper into the bushes
