A beautiful moment was captured where a male butterfly was seen performing the 'Happy Dance' to invite its female partner to mate with it in the Mayurbhanj district of Odisha in India.

The video captured by Manas Behera an avid animal and wildlife photographer said, "The species of the butterfly is known as Blue Mormon, each species of butterfly has their own display or “dance”, which may be performed by both sexes or just the male.

"In this case, the male seems to be dancing by fluttering its wings to attract the female to mate with it."

"These courtship displays help to ensure that butterflies mate with their own species, and communicate receptivity."

"Think of it as the first date for butterflies to get to know each other well."

"It is very rare to watch such a sight, the nature is full of beautiful things but one has to be patient to witness it."
