Vitfjärilarna har visst bråda tider just nu. Jag har sett dem i flockar och parvis. Och de dansar i liften. Gäller båda arterna här. De verkar gilla att samlas i hål på grusvägar. Inte bra när man kommer med bil. :(
The Pieridae butterflies seems to be very busy right now. I have seen them in flocks as well as pairs. And they are danceing in the air. Goes for both the spieces I show here. They seem to like holes in dirt roads where they gather. Not good when you are driving a car.

Ska jag vara ärlig så verkar det ju vara en besvärlig situation. Den där parningen. ;)
To be honest, I think this mating ritual seems rather difficult.
