Male, attempting to mate with a female

Taken on May 17, 2014 (North Yorkshire)

'These Small Blue butterflies were copulating quite happily when another male arrived and started to buzz them. This didn't seem to have the desired effect of separating them so he landed on the flower next to them and forced himself underneath their joined abdomens. That was the exact moment I photographed here... The mating pair remained connected.' -Tim Melling
