X-Rated - _TNY_0207 - a photo on Flickriver

How about an old 2017 shot? Here are a couple of butterflies at the Haga Ocean butterfly house in Solna, Sweden about to get it on.

I think the species is the common postman (Heliconius melpomene), but I am not 100%. Not only are the Heliconius species variable in patterns, they also mimic each other and on top of that, they also hybridise so if we want to be sure, we probably should stop at Heliconius sp.

The female had landed first and the male landed on top of here and walked aroud a bit at first and I really like how their wings create an X here.

For a photo of just the male taken before, please have alook here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/28683109128/
