I think most species of butterfly males have this territorial streak in them. Some nice observations mentioned, all of which i shall be looking out for next summer. Can't wait.<br />JohnJohnnykinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076909025101532481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4998479738444661160.post-74793748788314922512010-09-07T20:04:15.442+00:002010-09-07T20:04:15.442+00:00Nice shots.
