EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by FLPA photographer Erica Olsen, we witness a truly intimate moment between two Gatekeeper butterflies. These European beauties, scientifically known as Pyronia tithonus, are seen engaging in a passionate mating ritual high up on an oak tree branch. Against the picturesque backdrop of Norfolk's lush landscape and warm July weather, these enchanting creatures have found their perfect love nest. The male Gatekeeper proudly displays his vibrant wings while delicately embracing his female counterpart. It's a true testament to the wonders of nature and the magic that can unfold when two souls connect. As they engage in this intricate dance of life, it's impossible not to be captivated by their grace and beauty. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the essence of summer romance – from its vivid colors to its delicate details. So let this image transport you to East Anglia's breathtaking countryside where gatekeepers reign supreme. Take a moment to appreciate the marvels of our natural world and celebrate the joyous union between these magnificent insects. After all, who knew that even butterflies could teach us a thing or two about love?
