I couldn't help but stop and capture this mating ritual.
I love this b/w :) great abstract background gives this image a perfect atmosphere :)

An interesting idea to forego the pleasure of the colours, here, and concentrate instead on the patterns and overall composition. Well done!

I agree with Andrew, normally butterflies are associated with colours, but you have made a great decision converting this into black and white. BTW I really love the stark contrast between the blacks and the lighter colours.

@Laurie: It was one of my better ops. Thanks.
Strong contrast is very good. A really interesting scene!
