I watched this mating pair of silver-studded blue butterflies (Plebejus argus) as the female fluttered around looking for nectar with the male firmly attached by his posterior.

DWT Higher Hyde Heath, Purbeck. The female was giving the male a right old pulling as she looked for nectar, reminded me of foxes interlocked. The male is on the right, with duller orange patches and fewer silver studs on them, I wonder why the males are less showy (in this specific area) than the females, although overall they are bluer in colour.
