Assembling

Late yesterday morning the female Vapourer failed to attract a single male in the garden but this morning she finally had her wicked way with her choice of three males that were attracted to her between 9 and 10 (a process known as assembling). She has already laid a number of infertile eggs so it remains to see if there will be any more.
