Have you ever watched a butterfly land on something and slowly open and close its wings over and over kinda like it's waving?

That's the female butterfly.  She does this to signal to a male butterfly that she'd like for him to come over and get a little lovin'.

Scientists have experimented with this.  What they have done is, they have taken a large cardboard cut-out of a butterfly, put that beside a real-life "waving" butterfly and watched what the male does.  The male will always go to the cardboard butterfly.

 

That is really sad. Thanks for sharing it, though.
