This pair of Papilio ophidicephalus were mating for a considerable time in the Butterfly Sanctuary. At one point, the female flew off with the male still attached and settled again. I took a number of photos, but this was the best. |

These butterflies do no naturally occur near the coast anywhere north of the Transkei, so this record is illegitimate. |
