Two's Company, Three's a Crowd!!
A pair of marbled white butterflies mating on a knapweed flower in the Bill Smyllie field at Prestbury Hill nature reserve. Whilst this pair were copulating a rival male attempted to get in on the act! The amorous couple rebuffed his advances and after a couple of minutes flew away into a hawthorn bush!
