A Northern White Skipper trying to mate with a newly eclosed Checkered White. Not only are they two different species but they are from different families. The female had newly emerged (eclosed) from the chrysalis which you can see hanging on the stem. Her wings are still a bit shriveled as she is trying to dry them out for flight. Yet this persistent male skipper kept trying, or course to no avail.
