"When the Pheromones Call......""When the Pheromones Call......""Wenn die Pheromone rufen......"
Among the countless Kaisermantel butterflies I found, there was also busy work for the future. Time and again, one saw how individual butterflies were harassed by others and then one also saw why. Through the observations, I then learned a lot about their behavior. Because I have a Raw Burst mode but it is saved in a separate file, is tedious to unpack and saving on the SD card takes too long for me. So I had to fully exploit my reaction time several times to also get flight pictures. What I found very interesting was what I call "the wedding flight"... when both flew around, the male circled the female. By flying over her from above and letting himself fall back below at an impressive speed again and again. Observations of the animals' behavior also help here to catch the right moment, to get different pictures and it is so fascinating... yes, I stood in the forest for the second time all alone for me and again with about 100 Kaisermantel...

Immer wieder sah man wie einzelne Falter von anderen bedrängt wurden und dann sah man es auch warum.
Durch die Beobachtungen lernte ich dann auch viel über ihr verhalten. Denn ich habe einen Raw Burst Modus doch der wird in einer separaten Datei gespeichert ist mühsam zu entpacken und das abspeichern auf der SD geht mir zu lange. Und so musste meine Reaktionszeit einige mal voll ausnutzen, um auch an Flugbilder zu kommen.
Was ich sehr interessant fand war wie ich es nenne «den Hochzeitsflug»….wenn beide herumflogen so umrundete das Männchen das Weibchen. Indem es oben über sie durch flog und sich unten zurückfallen liess und das in einer beeindruckenden Geschwindigkeit immer und immer wieder.
Beobachtungen des Verhaltens der Tiere, helfen auch hier den richtigen Moment zu erwischen, mal andere Bilder zu bekommen und es ist so was von faszinierend…….ja da stand ich im Wald beim zweiten Mal ganz allen für mich und wieder mit gut 100 Kaisermantel…
