How can a butterfly and a male butterfly fall in love?

In: Butterflies and Moths [Edit categories]

Answer:

Butterflies do not fall in love. Male butterflies are attracted to female butterflies through scent and sight. They pair/mate and the male goes to search for another female soon after. They have an instinct to pair/mate but never stay around one specific butterfly.
