Schnell mal Nektar tanken ... Quickly suck some nectar ...
... denn das Fortpflanzungsgeschäft ist sehr anstrengend. Dieses Aurorafalter Männchen (Anthocharis cardamines) saugt immer wieder mal Nektar an einer blühenden Knoblauchsrauke (Alliaria petiolata), um anschließend vorbeifliegende Weibchen anzubalzen. Die Weibchen legen nach der Begattung die befruchteten Eier an Blättern der Knoblauchsrauke, der bevorzugten Futterpflanze der Raupen, ab.
...because the reproductive business is very strenuous. This male orange tip (Anthocharis cardamines) sucks nectar from a flowering garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) from time to time in order to subsequently court passing females. After mating, the females lay the fertilised eggs on the leaves of the garlic mustard, the preferred food plant of the caterpillars.
